God delivered Israel with a mighty hand. However, there came a time when the Northern Kingdom of Israel forgot God. They forgot that he led them out of Egypt. They forgot that he drove giants out of their way and enabled them to enter the Promised Land. They forgot and became a sinful nation that silenced God's prophets and those committed to following Him, even leading them astray. They drove God to "Redeemer's Remorse" leading God to regret having acted on their behalf. God's strong judgment reminds us of the importance of living justly and uprightly.

First Point
Trampling the
Foundations of
Justice

6. Genesis 1
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in
our image, after our likeness. And let
them have dominion over the fish of
the sea and over the birds of the
heavens and over the livestock and over
all the earth and over every creeping
thing that creeps on the earth.”

7. Genesis 1
27 So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God he
created him; male and female he
created them.

8. Human Traffickers are
“branding” their girls.

9. Social injustice is a trampling of
the image bearers of God.
6b… because they sell the righteous
for silver, and the needy for a pair of
sandals— 7 those who trample the
head of the poor into the dust of the
earth and turn aside the way of the
afflicted;

10. 7b …a man and his father go in to the
same girl, so that my holy name is
profaned;
Moral injustice is a trampling of
God’s Holiness.

11. 8 they lay themselves down beside
every altar on garments taken in
pledge, and in the house of their God
they drink the wine of those who
have been fined.
Religious injustice is a trampling of
God’s Law.

9 “Yet it was I who destroyed the
Amorite before them…”
10 “Also it was I who brought you up
out of the land of Egypt…”

14. God was remorseful concerning
Israel’s short memory.
11 And I raised up some of your sons
for prophets, and some of your
young men for Nazirites…

15. God was angry at Israel’s rebellion.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink
wine, and commanded the prophets,
saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’

16. Does God have regrets?
Genesis 6:6: And the LORD regretted
that he had made man on the earth,
and it grieved him to his heart.
1 Samuel 15:35: And the LORD
regretted that he had made Saul king
over Israel.

17. God’s Judgment
• I will press you down (v. 13)
• I will take the fight out of you
(vv. 14-15)
• I will strip you of your courage
(v. 16)

18. A HARD Question

Redeemer’s Remorse?

19. An ENCOURAGING answer
