2 Samuel 12:13
"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."
It's not that we sin, it's that we are sinners. We have a fleshly nature within that loves sin and is constantly pulling us in that direction.
The first act of obedience must be repentance. Repentance is turning from one direction and going the other. David realized his sin was against the Lord and he turned from that sin back to God.
Read Psalm 51. Verse 17 says,
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise."
Death is the result of sin, every time. However Jesus offers to take that death and give us life. Have I accepted His mercy and grace today in my life?
