How do we know Samson was a true child of God?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 11:32 mentions Samson among the faithful, affirming him as a true child of God.

Despite the complexity of Samson's character and actions, the New Testament validates his faith through the listing in Hebrews 11. This chapter, often referred to as the 'Hall of Faith,' includes Samson alongside other notable figures like Gideon and David, suggesting that despite his flaws and failures, he was indeed a child of God justified by faith. This assurance encourages believers that one's personal shortcomings do not nullify God's grace or purpose, reflecting the sovereign grace theology that emphasizes salvation through faith alone.
