Adultery and Murder

God called King David: “a man after mine own heart” (Acts 13:22; KJV), and yet David committed adultery and had the husband of the woman involved (Bathsheba) killed (2 Sam.11). However, David recognized his sin and repented and God forgave him (2 Sam 12) and used David mightily. Saul (Paul) said he was the worst of sinners (1 Tim 1:15) and yet God used him to evangelize much of the known world at that time and to write a large portion of the New Testament of the Bible.

As Christians we have been forgiven and made righteous by Christs sacrifice on the cross (Col 1:14; 2 Cor 5:21); we are no longer sinners. We should no longer willfully continue to sin (1 John 3:6) but we will slip and sin; however, if we repent and ask forgiveness God is quick to forgive us (1 John 1:8-2:2).

Don’t be condemned, be encouraged; none of us are perfect, but God in his mercy is perfecting us day by day (Phil 1:6). If there is an area of your life that is causing you to be tempted remember that God can help you; Romans 8:37 tells us that we are: "more than conquerors THROUGH HIM that loved us."
