A year has passed. God sent the prophet Nathan to David. Nathan told David a story:


1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David, 2 when the prophet Nathan came to him after he had gone in to Bathsheba. 3 Have mercy on me, O God, in your mercy; Blot out my transgressions unto the multitude of thy mercy. 4 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 5 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. 6 Against thee only have I sinned, m88 and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mayest be justified when You speak and blameless when You judge. 7 Behold, in iniquity was I born, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 8 See, you have a desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. "(Psalm 51: 1-8).
David must have been with his army on the battlefield. But he was not. He stayed home and slept late. After he had slept late one afternoon, he stood up and the house's flat roof walk. He was in his neighbor's m88 window to see how his bath. She was very attractive. He sent one of his messengers to find out who she is. The message very clear in his ears echoed: "She m88 was Uriah's wife!" And David sent for her and slept with her. A little later came the news: "I'm pregnant." David was in trouble. Uriah would find. The people would find out (for some reason he did not mind that God does not know). He recalled off for Uriah from the battlefield. David wanted his footprints painted over: "Go a little home and spend time with your wife." David was hoping Uriah sleep with his wife, so that everyone will think it's he who made her pregnant. But the brave soldier did not go home.
The next night David made him drunk in hopes that he would go home and sleep with his wife. But again he slept doors of the palace. What should m88 David do? He wrote a letter to the commander of his army and sent it with Uriah, "Let Uriah in the front line fighting, so the boogskuttes kill him." This is what happened. Now David was soon to marry Bathsheba and pretend she became pregnant after their marriage. But God knew that David had done.
A year has passed. God sent the prophet Nathan to David. Nathan told David a story: "Once there was a rich man with many cattle and sheep. Next to him, a poor man lived. He had nothing; just a baby. The sheep along with his children grew. They loved the animal. To find a day when the rich man guests. He did not want any of his animals kill and then kill it the poor man's sheep. " When David heard that story he was furious: "The rich man had everything he wanted, and then he has the poor man's only lamb! He must return to the poor, four sheep. If someone deserves the death penalty! " And David said this Nathan m88 put his finger under David's nose and brave said, "You, King David, that man! God has given you great wealth and women. Why you took Uriah's wife and killed him? You deserve God's judgment! " David recognized his sin. God has indeed killed his child, but he had saved David's life. David had deep sorrow for his sin, and pleaded that God would forgive him. Psalm 51 is his confession (vs. 1-2).
It is possible for a Christian for a long time to wander and deep sinking into the modderput of sin. David sinned in gehiem but confesses in public m88 (v.1, for the music leader). If he wanted to, God could have left for David. The very fact that God sent Nathan to show his sin was grace. Do not like a lot of people say: "Leave that person as sinful. Do not confront him; the Holy Spirit will convict him. "no. You forget m88 that God often people use to convince believers of their sins (as Nathan in v.2)? To us from sin to convince use God:
Other people's holy lives (you feel dirty in their presence and know that your life is not right). Kerktug (Matthew m88 18: 15-17). The Word (that sermon that hits you between the eyes). God's goodness (Romans m88 2: 4)! Communion where you see what Jesus had to suffer for your sins. Your conscience does not allow you to rest. Suffering, so that you no longer m88 want this destroyed persist.
Unless you do not understand the depth of your sin, you will never understand God's mercy and grace as David to beg (v.3). David saw that his sin as ink is a black page more like clothes that are permanently stained. Therefore, he asked God to blot out his sins (as a person close to ink correction fluid or white make a stained garment with JIK): "Have mercy on me, O God, in your mercy; Blot out my transgressions unto the multitude of thy mercy. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. "(V.3-4). Other similar m88 verses say: "I, m88 am he who blots out your transgressions for My o
