What does the story of Samson teach about sin and grace?

Samson's narrative serves as a sobering reminder of the human propensity to sin, as illustrated by his repeated encounters with temptation and moral failure. Yet, amidst this struggle, God's grace is ever-present. Despite Samson's failures, he was still recognized as a man of faith, as highlighted in Hebrews 11:32-34. This teaches us that our standing before God does not depend on our faithfulness but rather on Christ's perfect obedience and grace. The contrast between sin's destructive power and God’s unyielding grace highlights the core tenets of Reformed theology regarding the sinner's need for divine intervention and the sufficiency of Christ's work.
