Detailed explanation-1: -“All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away” (John 6:37, NIV).
Detailed explanation-2: -The name Jesus (Yeshua/Joshua) means “the Lord saves.” Like Joshua of old, Jesus will deliver his people from their bondage and bring them into the true promised land of God’s forgiveness. But Jesus bears this name not merely as an instrument or conduit of God’s salvation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Another popular understanding of Israel as the Promised Land comes from Genesis 17, where God’s covenant with Abraham and his offspring is affirmed, and God promises to be the God of Abraham’s offspring and gift them the land of Canaan for “a perpetual holding.”
Detailed explanation-4: -When God called Abram to go to a country He would show him, the call came with God’s promise that in Abram “all families of the earth” would be blessed. Abram and Sarai had no children, yet God promised to make Abram’s name great.
