2 Samuel 12
There is a temptation in life to live like we are God- functional atheism.
This is the oldest temptation in all of Scripture (Genesis and satan tempting Jesus)
David finds himself in a place he did not mean to go (Bathsheba, murder, betrayal)
After he overcomes this, he is in a more dangerous position. Power drunk and sin blind. Sin does this to all of us.
Is there an area in your life where sin maybe wearing a disguise?
David has to recognize his sin - first hurdle.
David sees the sin of others in the story Nathan tells him. David explodes with pity and judgment. Two feelings that They make us feel righteous and holy.
We have to recognize our own sin. David does this with Nathan.
People like to reject the whole category of sin.
Hurdles to restoration -
1 - Admitting sin
2 - Moving through brokenness
3 - Accepting Gods forgiveness
Forgiveness and restoration and repair is the work that Jesus came to do for us.
