God Keeps His Promises
Paul recounts the conquest of Canaan to remind his audience of a core truth: God is faithful to His covenant promises. As commentator Charles Spurgeon highlights, God promised Israel a land and delivered it, even destroying seven nations to do so. This historical event serves as a powerful illustration of God's unwavering commitment to His people and His redemptive plan.
