Achan's sin: Achan disregards God's command and takes forbidden loot from the city of Jericho, violating the ban placed upon it.
Consequences of disobedience: Achan's sin brings about disastrous consequences for the Israelites, leading to defeat in battle against the city of Ai.
• We are warned of the dangers of disobedience and the consequences it can have not only for ourselves but also for those around us.
Seeking Repentance and Restoration [7:6-9]
Joshua's response: Joshua mourns before the Lord, seeking understanding and guidance in the wake of the Israelites' defeat.
Emphasis on humility and repentance: Joshua acknowledges the severity of the situation and turns to God in humility, seeking forgiveness and restoration.

The story of Achan's sin serves as a reminder of the consequences of breaking faith and the importance of keeping the faith in the life of God's people. We call this sin. Rom 13:23
As we confront sin in our own lives we must humble ourselves before God, seek his forgiveness, and commit ourselves to lives of faith.
