Ep.92 The Sin of Achan | Joshua 7:1,10-12,20-26 

Good teaching. God examined Achan's heart and saw no evidence of repentance even though he confessed to sinning. It was for the lack of repentance that God determined to have Achan stoned. The story of Achan perfectly illustrates the difference between: confession/admission of guilt repentance/regret/remorse for the action and its consequences and the realization of its sinfulness. Achan, had plenty of opportunity to repent during the casting of the lots to gradually find the guilty person. However, even when confronted, his admission speech still betrayed his love of the "beautiful Babylonian garment" and "two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them" (Josh 7:21). Thus, Achan broke the tenth commandment and also Deut 7:25. First, does Achan's comment signify repentance? Achan's words show more an acknowledgment of what he did, i.e. a confession. Since Achan was stoned to death, there is no way to see if he actually would have changed his life course. The only one that would have known if he was repentant would be God. The scriptures clearly mention that God looks into a person's heart to determine their motives: 1 Kings 8:39, 1Chronicles 28:9, Psalms 7:9, Proverbs 24:12, Jeremiah 17:10 there are several accounts in the Bible that shows God examines the heart of individuals to see if they are truly repentant. God examined Achan's heart and saw no evidence of repentance even though he confessed to sinning. It was for the lack of repentance that God determined to have Achan stoned.

Great Job Brother Charleton Lewis of Just Teach Ministries!

Hey Brother, good to see you! I’ve seen teach before at Pastor Murray church Full Gospel. Looking forward to hearing your teachings. I just subscribed.

Good Morning! Today is Monday 10/09/2023. I alway follow your Sunday School lesson every week. I was following your lesson on “The Sin of Achan.” I am a Sunday School teacher and I have a question. Correct me if I am wrong or right because I was confused about something. Now, did Achan and his family get stoned to death. Did they also get burned? I know all of his possessions he had they burned it. Please explain because several of my students said that they got stoned and burned up. Yes, I know what the scripture said in the Bible. I was confused, please help me out
