20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
What I recently learnt of Samson is that he played with sin until he faced the consequences of it, which is something I didn't at first take away from the story. He didn't fall away from God as it was a slow gradual progress just like how many of us cut ourselves from the vine. Whoever allows sin to take root in their lives can find themselves in this predicament. To think that we can never be lost to God is dangerous as it can lead us to being complacent with our current lives and striving for improvement or Christlikeness.
