Judges 3: 7-11
One thing resurrection does is that it ushers in the season of rest. Rest is not sleep as you can sleep and not have rest.
Rest is not money, for so many have it, yet they do not have rest. Rest is not connected to any worldly possession for many have it, yet it took away their rest.
Before Jesus came, animals were used as atonement for sins on behalf of humanity but with the coming of Jesus was the lamb of God who took away our sins. And if He has taken them away, do you still have them? If Jesus had not paid the price, you would not have had access to him.
Judges 3:7-8 (AMP)
And the Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and the [a]Asheroth. So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of [b]Mesopotamia, and the Israelites served Cushan-rishathaim(double wicked) for eight years.
The reason people rise and fall is that they forget things easily. When you are rising, grow with your spouse. Do your best never to forget where you are coming from. You cannot afford to forget God and the people God has used to contribute to your lifting.
The children of Israel did only one thing in this text: all they did was that they ‘forgot’. It looks like a memory problem, but the Bible describes it as evil. The same God that says,  Remember not the former things is the God that says,  ‘Remember where I brought you from…’
Forgetting where God lifted you from is dangerous; it attracts stiff punishment. ‘Forgetting’ is something you must always avoid. Men may forget, do your best never to forget. The only reason people go from being served to serving is that they forgot.
