there sin and cried out to God to save them and he did
by sending a savior moses.Because we have Christ we have
grace he wont spurn us like he used to because Christ took away our reproach and he is free to love us despite our sinfulness.brentnz

Come on get real samson old testement its in
there wilful sin my definition is walking away from the Lord and doing opur own thing knowing what you should do but still do what you want to do.In the life of Samson WE SEE Gods forgiveness and the sacrifice is the same as today repentence we are saved
by the
grace of God if we turn from our own way.He was disobedient to his parents and to the Lord his heart was no different from ours wilfully disobedient he chose sin over the Lord all the time sleeping with prostites and lying with foreign woman going his own way and yet God saves him not only that he was Gods chosen instrument to deliver his people.The sad part is his term was only 20 years if he had walking in the ways of the Lord he should have had that ministry for 40 years that is the term of completion.We cut ourselves short when we choose sin over the Lord which is an idol
by the way.We all have those areas in our lives that we keep to ourselves thats wilful they are our demons and our comforters.Until we surrender all to the Lord we can not be overcomers and will be influenced
by satan like samson it is clear warning to us wilful sin or making sin an idol in our lives has consequences better to serve the Lord with all our hearts even though samson did nt for much of his life God still showed him his
grace and faithfullness.You can also see wilful sin in the Life of David yet God saves him but not all were saved in the life of saul as he wouldnt listen to the Lord and kept walking according to his flesh.
