Judges | God’s Faithfulness to Unfaithful People (16:1-31 — The Progression of Sin)

Painful Lessons on the Danger of Sin from Samson:

– Sin often seems safe because it is a spiritual sedative and God is patient.

Ecclesiastes 8:11; Romans 2:4-5; 2 Peter 3:9

– Just as sanctification is progressive, so too are patterns of sin.

2 Timothy 3:13-15; Romans 8:12-14

“There is not a day but sin foils or is foiled, prevails or is prevailed on; and it will be so while we live in this world… Be killing sin or sin will be killing you.” — John Owen

– Sin that is intentional, habitual, and casual is the pathway of spiritual suicide.

Proverbs 29:1; Galatians 6:7-8

The terrifying and beautiful reality of grace is, while God is under no obligation to continue extending it to those who have abused it, He always does when their repentance is genuine.
