Q2. Adultery and Murder

[wifee]

2a)We all even christians can allow our human lustful thoughts&feelings to dictate our actions&make us sin,if we don’t take action,to avert our eyes from provative images,or avoid other situations of great temptation.Sin of any sort,makes us more vulnerable to other sin,as our spiritual defences are lowered,devil tempts us to seek to try &cover up first sin

b)Our human condition is born into sin,weakened by satan’s grip on us as flesh rules.We are in a spiritual battle &need heavens to keep us from falling to human sinful temptations.Jesus has won the victory over death&we need his help to keep us on right track.Without Christ we are unrighteous

.c)We are sinful,often not think we know how to acr,but that independent thinking means we dont rely on The Lord to lead us.

d)David never fully recovered,though he repented,&asked for God’s forgiveness,memory of actions stayed with him.He enquired of the LORD for his future actions re war &survival as king to

keep in the will of God.God had a plan of rescue.

Q2. (2 Samuel 11) How can a “man after God’s own heart” do something so ugly, so despicable as this – first adultery and then murder by proxy to cover it up? What does this teach us about our human condition? What is our problem as humans? How can David ever recover his integrity after this?

It is amazing how sinful man can be when **** fills his heart! When lustful sin takes over then a man can do almost anything.

A problem is that it is hard to admit to sin.

To recover his integrity and David must acknowledge his sins before God and receive forgiveness.

1. David commit adultery and murder, What does this teach us about our human condition? As human we found ourselves following  the **** of the the flesh , which cause us problems in long run. David after realising what he has done ended up committing  murder to cover up his tracks.

2.What is our problem as humans?

We do not allow Holy Spirit to lead us at all times   and when temptation comes we yield to it without thinking about consequences. 

3.How can David recover his integrity after this? Through repentance and asking God for forgiveness

David is still a man and can still sin

We will all pay for our sins

He will have to live with his sin, it may come back to bite him

Q2. (2 Samuel 11) How can a "man after God's own heart" do something so ugly, so despicable as this -- first adultery and then murder by proxy to cover it up?

What does this teach us about our human condition?

What is our problem as humans?

How can David ever recover his integrity after this?

We are unpredictable and untrustworthy.  Without God we are lost.  We are warned to WATCH and PRAY .  The devil knows our weaknesses and when we are most vulnerable he will work on them and before we know it, we will fall, if we do not call out to God to help us STAND.  We are to RESIST the devil and then he will flee from us. But if we give in to him by just savouring a thought in the wrong direction, he pounces on us and leads us to where we don't want to be.  Before we know it we are in sin.  The way out is to confess and repent  from whatever we did and allow Christ to restore as only He can.  When David was approached by Nathan and his eyes were opened to what he had done, he did just that.  He acknowledged his sin before God and repented of what he had done.
