In the book of Judges, we see both sin and salvation - “The people of
Israel did what the Lord considered evil” (Judges 3:7,12); “Then the
people of Israel dried out to the Lord for help” (Judges 3:9,15); “The
Lord sent a saviour to rescue them” (Judges 3:9,15). Viewed from the
point of view of human sin, this was a bad time in the history of
Israel. They were a wayward people. They were prone to wandering away
from the Lord. Viewed from the point of view of divine grace, there is
the great encouragement that God continues to love His people.He puts
into their hearts a desire to return to Him. He responds to their cry
from the heart. He sends His blessing. This is His way of showing us
that His love for us remains constant, even when our love for Him has
grown very weak.
