Only God can break the cycle of sin and depravity. This is what the book of Judges is all about, and Samson, though he was not perfect, points to the perfect Son of God who stands victorious in power over sin.
Why call it the Story of Grace?
Because from beginning to end, from creation to new creation, every act, every promise, every rescue is marked by God’s unrelenting kindness toward undeserving people. Grace is not a subplot in the Bible; it is the plot. And the best part of all? This story isn’t finished. It’s still being told today.
God is still using this story of grace to shape and mold the story of our own lives.

DELIVER OUR LIVES FROM DEATH
All throughout the story of Grace, we see God accomplishing great things through weakness. Gideon is an unlikely hero who brings his people back to the Lord. In the same way, Jesus is an unlikely hero, a hero who dies to bring his people back to the Father.
