You know, God admired David, and David did some bad things. He was a good leader for his country, though.


Repentance for sin and serving Christ go hand in hand, such that you cannot repent for sin unless you are a servant of Christ, and you cannot serve Christ unless you repent for sin. Generations of Christians have understood this, for the first command our Savior ever gave was, "Repent and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:15). And throughout all generations, believers have turned to Psalm 51 for assistance in expressing their repentance to the Lord.

As the superscript to Psalm 51 tells us, this psalm was prompted by David's response "when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba." When the words of God came to David through the prophet Nathan, David turned from his sin (2 Sam. 12:1–15a). This is in keeping with how the Lord works faith in our hearts. Just as faith comes by the hearing of the Word of God (Rom. 10:17), so does repentance, for repentance is inseparable from faith. We must turn from sin in repentance unto Christ in faith. Moreover, that David, God's chosen king, was required to heed God's revelation through an old covenant prophet means we have no excuse for ignoring God's command to repent given by Jesus the Messiah. Augustine of Hippo comments on today's passage, "An exalted king heard a prophet, let His humble people hear Christ."
