Judges | God’s Faithfulness to Unfaithful People 3:7-11 — Our Forgetfulness v. God’s Faithfulness

Judges 3:7-11

One of the most detrimental qualities of sinful humanity is our amazing capacity to forget– forgetfulness leads to sin, and sin leads to forgetfulness, so we must fight both.

“Our hearts are like a bucket of water on a very cold day—they will freeze over unless we regularly smash the ice that is forming. Though we know truths about God, we can very easily lose the sense upon our hearts of their reality.” — Tim Keller

Romans 1:21; Deuteronomy 8:11-14; James 1:22-25

While sin is always something we do by our own volition, it always leads to our subjugation.

Psalm 115:8; John 8:34

Othniel foreshadows the Deliverer we all need, who hears our helpless cries, defeats our enemies, and ushers us into freedom we didn’t deserve.

Psalm 107:13-14 Hebrews 2:14-15
