Joshua 21:43-45,
[43] And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. [44] And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. [45] There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
John 10:10,
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Ephesians 3:19
and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
The good land, in its fullest sense, is a place where believers experience the full enjoyment of all that God has prepared for them. In Joshua 21:43-45, we see that God gave Israel the land, and they entered into it to possess it and enjoy its abundance.
In Christ, we have entered into the good land and are called to fully enjoy all the riches of God’s grace. Jesus promised us abundant life (John 10:10), and in Him, we experience the fullness of life. This is not just a life of survival, but one of richness, joy, and peace.
Ephesians 3:19 speaks of knowing the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, filling us to all the fullness of God. The good land signifies the abundant life we experience when we live in the full enjoyment of Christ.
Thought of the day/Main Points:

– Christ has made available abundant life, which believers are called to enjoy to the fullest.
