How do we know that Samson's strength came from God?

Answered in 1 source

Samson's strength was a direct result of the Spirit of the Lord coming upon him, not his hair or personal strength.

Judges reveals that Samson's remarkable strength was due to the Spirit of the Lord resting upon him, not the length of his hair, which was merely a symbol of his Nazarite vow. Scriptural references such as Judges 14:6 and 15:14 repeatedly emphasize that whenever the Spirit empowered Samson, he accomplished feats beyond normal human capability. This is an essential aspect of understanding Samson's life; it highlights God's ability to equip His chosen servants for His purposes, affirming that all power originates from Him. Thus, Samson serves as a profound reminder that true strength in the Christian life comes from reliance on the Spirit, not personal effort.
Scripture References: Judges 14:6, Judges 15:14
