Consequences of Compromise Allowing the Canaanites to remain led to spiritual and cultural compromise, which can serve as a warning against allowing sin to persist in our lives. The Importance of Complete Trust in God The Israelites' failure to fully conquer the land shows a lack of trust in God's promises and power. We are called to trust God fully in our own battles. The Danger of Coexistence with Sin Just as the Canaanites' presence led to Israel's spiritual decline, tolerating sin in our lives can lead to spiritual decay. God's Call to Holiness The command to drive out the Canaanites was part of God's call for Israel to be a holy nation. We are similarly called to live set apart for God.
