Subject: Christians before Jesus came |
Bible Note: Chesed Why do you think there wasn't a sacrifice for David's sins? More importantly what makes you think he didn't offer sacrifice for those sins? If you are looking at the consequences he suffered due to those sins then I think you don't understand salvation. We can be forgiven for our sins but in many cases we must still bear the consequences of those sins. For instance some one robs a bank and shoots a guard. He can find Jesus and ask for forgiveness, but he will still probably have to serve life in prison for the bank robbery and murder. Just as someone that commits adultery, he can find Jesus and be saved but may still die from AIDS he caught in the adulterous affair, or he may even pass it on to his wife who may then give it to a yet unborn baby. God’s forgiveness of our sins does not always spare us from the heartbreak, tragedy and despair those sins created. That is one reason why we must try to always live within the guidelines God gave us for a prosperous and happy life. EdB |
