2 Samuel 12:11-14 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

Here are the consequences for David’s sins from 2 Samuel 11. Sin has consequences and those cannot be avoided. I will not make lite of any of those consequences, nor should we make lite of our own. Here is my point about David’s sin.

Acts 13:22c I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

Nowhere in the fifty-four verses about David in the New Testament will you find one mention of David’s sins. It is done, God does not bring it up again. Consequences paid, repentance made, forgiveness given and never again does God talk about it.

How often to do we revisit the sins of our past, those which we have paid the consequences, repented and gained forgive? God is not talking about it. Who are you listening to in those moments? Satan the liar or your own unforgiveness? If God has forgiven you why are you holding yourself guilty? The price has been paid. Are you not believing God when He declares you are forgiven?

1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

Forgive yourselves for Christ’s sake.

1 Corinthians 11:15 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

We are the body of Christ, each members in particular, separate but fitted jointly together to function in unison. It is important to know who you are in Christ in order to do your part.

1 Corinthians 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

What we must understand apart from our place is that none of us is the blood. The blood flows to each and every part to bring nourishment. Even the heart which distributes the blood is fed by the blood.

Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

That part is given to us all and is not from us but rather God. His love strengthens us, nourishes us, encourages us, emboldens us, and binds us together in unity of mind, will, and spirit. That love is more than our motivation, it is our animation.

Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

If the Lord is moved, we are moved.
