SIN in his life
1 Inthe spring, at the time when kings go off to war,
David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole
Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and
besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked

around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he

saw a woman bathing. The woman was very
beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out
about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the
daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came

to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying

herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went
back home. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to
David, saying, “I am pregnant.”
– 2 Samuel 11:1-5
 Many think they can sin and
Continue living as though
nothing had ever happened.
But the Bible clearly
teaches that the wages of sin is
death and that one sin leads to
another.
David experienced the following progression:

1. He saw with his eyes what he should

not have seen, which gave rise to sinful
desires.

7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the
soldiers were and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah,
“Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace,
and a gift from the king was sent after him. 9 But Uriah slept at the
entrance to the palace with all his master’s servants and did not go
down to his house.
10 David was told, “Uriah did not go home.” So he asked Uriah, “Haven’t

you just come from a military campaign? Why didn’t you go home?”
11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents,

and my commander Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open
country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love to
my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!”
12 Then David said to him, “Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will

send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.

from him so he will be struck down and die.”

 AREAS AFFECTED BY SIN

areas:
• Physical: “When I kept my silent, my
bone wasted away” (Psalm 32:3a)

day long. For day and night your hand
was heavy on me” (Psalm 32:3b-4a)
• Financial: “…my strength was sapped as
in the heat of summer” (Psalm 32:4b)
THE OPPORTUNITY OF REPENTANCE

• Despite the circumstances, God always

extends His infinite grace so that we
can return to the right path
• Repentance is not an emotion. It is a
personal decision that we will not
fail God again.
“The Lord has taken away your sin. You are
not going to die.”
- 2 Samuel 12:13
 CONFESSION

• Genuine repentance always come

accompanied by a confession.
• It is when we acknowledge our sin
before God.

“I said, “I will confess my transgressions

to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt
of my sin.”

CONFESSION
Things we can learn from David’s
confession:
• It was not superficial.
• He did not try to justify what he
had done.
• He acknowledge his guilt.
• His confession was detailed.
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus”
- Romans 8:1
 CHANGE OF ATTITUDE
“Repentance is more than just sorrow for the past;
repentance is a change of mind and heart, a new life
of denying self and serving the Savior as king in
self’s place.”
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; a
ccording to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I kn
ow my transgressions, and my sin is always before me”
- Psalm 51:1-3

“1Blessed is the one whose “You are my hiding place; you

transgressions are forgiven, whose
sins are covered. 2Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count
against them and in whose spirit is
no deceit.”
– Psalm 32:1-2
will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of
deliverance”
- Psalm 32:7
 David’s Restoration (Psalm 32)
• He made a detailed
confession and received for
giveness (v5)
• He felt clean immediately
(v6)
• He sang songs of
deliverance because he could
feel God’s protection (v7)
• His mind was opened
to understand the Word (v8)
• He knew that the
righteous are surrounded
by mercy (v10)
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you
should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD’s unfailing love
surrounds the one who trusts in him.
