The Law said that both David and Bathsheba should die [Lev. 20:10]. In His grace, God forgave their sins [Ps. 51]; but in His government, He permitted them to reap what they sown. First John 1:9 is a great promise, but it is not an excuse for sin.
Remember, there are sad consequences of forgiven sin.
Divines of the Gospel
Divine grace revealed – Titus 2:11
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
Divine righteousness displayed – Romans 3:25
God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood —to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished
Questions in Joshua
9:22
Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you deceive us by saying, ‘We live a long way from you,’ while actually you live near us?
10:23
So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon.
15:18
One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”
Ephesians 4:24
“...and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
One of the biggest decisions we face at the beginning of each day is what we will wear.
Well, no matter what we choose in the way of clothing, let's make sure we choose to put on the new person God re-made us to be when we became Christians (Galatians 3:26-27). Those are the only clothes that will fit us eternally!
Amen.
