Subject: Should I get baptized again? |
Bible Note: True, most would not follow given the consequences, but that is missing the point. David should never have committed those acts because they were of a sinful nature. They were contrary to God's desire. David explicitly says so in Psalm 51:3-4 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. David cries out for mercy, because he knows the sins he committed were flagrant, and there was no sacrifice that could be offered to atone for them (see Leviticus). He was guilty beyond hope according to God's law, so he had to go to the righteous judge of heaven and earth and throw himself on the mercy of the court. Steve |
