Which of the following is one of the dangers Judges highlights?

• A. Not passing the faith to the next generation
• B. Replacing God's moral absolutes with what is right in our own eyes
• C. Both A and B
• D. Economic decline

Answer: (C)

Judges warns that spiritual decline shows up in two related ways: faith isn’t handed down to the next generation, and people live by their own standards rather than God’s. The book highlights the danger of the next generation not knowing the Lord and thus turning away from covenant faith, as seen when a generation arises that did not know the Lord or the mighty works He had done for Israel. It also emphasizes moral relativism when it says there was no king in Israel and everyone did what was right in his own eyes, signaling a loss of objective divine guidance and widespread ethical disorder. Economic hardship is not the primary concern Judges focuses on; the central warnings are about failing to transmit faith and about living without God’s fixed standard, which together lead to the cycle of sin, oppression, and deliverance described in the narrative.
