GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
Judges 1:1-8
Introduction:
In this passage we find the “law of requital,” (v.7). In the
New Testament, we know it as the “law of the harvest,” (Gal.6:7-8).
Three
simple truths drawn from these few scriptures:
I.

appropriate them:
A.
The Providing Of A
Promise (v.2)
B.
The Obeying Of A
Promise (v.4)
II.
THE PUNISHING OF A SINNER (VV.5-7)
These verses teach us some things:
A.
Judgment Is Inescapable
B.
Vengeance Belongs To God
C.
God’s Judgment Always Prevails
D.

III.
THE PURIFYING OF A LIFE (V.8)

(humiliated) - Eating scraps (missing God’s best). |

fire of confession burns away the sin. |
Conclusion:
There is a law of requital in the Bible. If you sow good seeds you
get a good harvest. If you sow sin you reap misery that could scar your
life forever. Let’s come clean and allow the Holy Ghost fire of God to
purify our lives. Let’s feast at the table. Let’s live for the Lord!
