Precept Bible Study on the Old Testament Book of Judges
Judges is a book seldom studied or taught, but it could not be more pertinent for our times. It is a book that demonstrates the darkness and bondage that falls on the nation or individual who turns from the Word of God, and each man does what is right in his own eyes.
The book of Judges is about what happened to the tribes of Israel who failed to drive out the enemies from their inheritance of the land given to them by God. The application for us today is that the chief source of the failures in our lives is our tolerance of incomplete obedience or outright disobedience to the Word of God. Nothing has changed from the days of the judges. People still do what is right in their own eyes. Absolutes are shoved aside in favor of moral relativism, and the result is bondage to sin. Only God's truth and moral principles bring peace and freedom from bondage.
