“The Confession”

 “The Confession”

 

Against You, and You alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in Your sight.  You will be proved right in what You say, and Your Judgment against me is just.   Psalm 51:4

 

This is King David’s CONFESSION to the Almighty God, for His transgressions with Beth-sheba.  The King appealed to God’s UNFAILING LOVE, and His COMPASSION, and pleaded that the LORD would have MERCY on him and FORGIVE and CLEANSE him from his transgressions.  In verse three, David CONFESSES that he RECOGNIZED his REBELLION, and that it HAUNTED him DAY and NIGHT. In verse two, David pleaded with God to WASH him CLEAN from his GUILT, and to PURIFY him from his SIN.  

 

David’s CONFESSION did NOT take place until a year after his transgression, and then it was after the Prophet Nathan had approached David concerning his sin.  It’s possible that David had JUSTIFIED his transgressions so long and so much that he could not feel the GUILT for his actions.  And David admitted to God that ANYTHING that God decided about him would be JUST.  If you read further down to verse seven, David asked GOD TO purify HIM from his sins, and to WASH him, that he might be CLEAN.  And in verse ten, David, asked God to CREATE in him a CLEAN heart, and to RENEW a LOYAL SPIRIT in him.  

 

Are you like King David, in the aspect of being REBELLIOUS to God and His Ways, and in JUSTIFYING your actions to the point that you do NOT FEEL GUILTY for your sins.  If you do NOT feel the GUILT, your sins, will at some point have a HAUNTING affect on you.  And it might be TOO LATE to REPENT.  The BIBLE tells us that NOW is the DAY of SALVATION, and that GOD will NOT ALWAYS strive with MANKIND.  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, you may end up with an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.   

 

You are NOW given ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, and to RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  To do that you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who DIED and was RESURRECTED to give you that ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  And with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and CONFESS that JESUS CHRIST is your SAVIOR and LORD!!  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
