Josh 23-24 Ps 44 1 Cor 11

It only took the sin of a single man, Achan, for the Lord to judge the entire nation of Israel and bring it to defeat at Ai and so it could be understood that the bleakness of the Israel's future was to become plain to all. In the Old Testament God judges the entire nation on the strength of the individual but in the New Testament Christ took that punishment on himself. Scripture tells us that God does not hear the cries of the unrepentant sinner but warms to the repentant heart. If we are to hit the spot with God we must incline our hearts towards him.
