Lessons From King David <\/u><\/b><\/h3>\n
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle,<\/i> that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.<\/span>
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king’s house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance.
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0David sent messengers and took her, and when she came to him, he lay with her; and when she had purified herself from her uncleanness, she returned to her house. <\/span><\/p>\n3. An Application Of The New Law <\/u><\/b><\/h3>\n
We should willingly do away with anything that would cause us to sin.<\/h3>\n
Sin, and only sin, will condemn\u00a0 a person – here and for eternity.<\/h3>\n
We progress for the good by not giving in to sin.<\/h3>\n
We should passionately seek what prepares us for eternity…therefore look to God!<\/h3>\n
