Josh 7
1. Beware of buts. v1 "But the Israelites were unfaithful." We all need to beware of sin. Josh 6:18-19. Never is a believer in greater danger of a fall than after a victory. 1 Cor 10:12. Josh 8:26
2. Today's victory is not a promise of tomorrow's victory. v2-5 Every day we need to seek God.
3. Sin hinders our relationship with God. v12 God hates sin and takes it very seriously.
4. Sin must be dealt with. v10-13 We must stand up and deal with our sin.
5. There's no such thing as secret sin. v17-19 We can try to hide our sin from each other, but God knows all of our sin, no matter how big or small. We need to deal with our sin as soon as possible. Heb 4:13 Nothing is hidden from God. Prov 28:13
6. Beware of sin's pattern. v20-21 I saw... I coveted... I took. Adam and Eve and the apple, Jas 1:13-15 All sin ultimately leads to death.
7. Sin has great consequences. v22-26
Achan did what most of us would do. God has given me such grace and mercy in spite of my sin, but I still need to confess and come clean.
