Psalm 51
Own Your Sin
David takes responsibility for what he had done (vs1, 2, 3, 9).
Sin is sin because it is against God (vs4).
Our sin deserves consequences.
Trust in God’s Mercy
There’s nothing we can do to pay for or outweigh our sin (vs16).
Our only hope is for God to be merciful, and He is (Exodus 34:6).
God’s mercy is shown fully in Jesus Christ (Titus 3:5).
God’s mercy provides exactly what we need (vs1, 7, 10).
Live Forgiven
We must live knowing that God has given us a clean heart.
There’s a tremendous joy that comes with forgiveness (vs12).
Our joy then overflows into praise (vs14-15).
Whatever we have done, God still has work for us to do (vs13).
