Why is possession of the Promised Land relevant to Christians today?

Answered in 1 source

Taking possession of the Promised Land symbolizes claiming the spiritual inheritance available to Christians in Christ.

In the sermon, the unfinished business of the seven tribes in taking possession of the Promised Land is analogous to the Christian's call to claim their spiritual inheritance in Christ. It serves as a reminder that believers are called not just to accept salvation but to actively pursue the abundant life that Christ offers. This involves engaging in faith and stepping into the promises of God, which have already been secured for them through Christ. The exhortation for the tribes to act at Shiloh signifies that our strength and encouragement come from Christ, urging Christians to seek Him actively in their spiritual journeys.
