We continue our trek through the Bible in our Generations Series, looking at the life of King David in 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles. We concentrate on 2 Samuel 11-21, and on a couple of misconceptions about sin: that our sin is our own and it doesn't affect anyone else, and forgiveness means there is a lack of punishment. Neither of these were the case in the life of David. He was not called a man after God's own heart because he didn't sin, or because his sin was that “severe.” David's heart was revealed when he was confronted with sin. He repented (turned away from it) and took full responsibility for it, and when he faced the consequences for his sin, he continued to worship and follow God, trusting His decisions. What about you? What does your response to your sin and discipline reveal about your heart?
