The OT was.."Do bad= get bad"
In Jesus Christ it is "done bad ( but not get bad, it is not imputed = but it is not laid upon us, but upon Him")...therefore we forever walk close with Him, love binds us to Him.
David looked down the avenue of time..and saw us today.
Plus, David knew he should have been punished for his sins esp with killing Uriah to get his wife...David didn't get what was owed him...he got mercy.
Bless you...H

To those who put their trust and faith in the only perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His gift to those who put their faith in Him alone.
The rest of that chapter explains this. God imputes the righteousness of Christ to those who put their faith in Him and His finished work of redemption. Therefore the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all sin.

I’ll have to read up on this, but I’m pretty sure David’s child died as a result of his sin and his family fell all to pieces. But God redeems through his Fifth son

Hi Waiting on him,
You are correct, David's child died, his son tried to take the kingdom, David's life was a disaster. But even so, Nathan told David that the sin was forgiven. And oh how happy is the man to whom God does not credit sin! Though sin can still bring difficulties into our lives.
But then, if God is not imputing our sin against us, and promises that everything is working together for our good, and we're completely done with all notion of "punishment", then all these difficulties, they are all specifically allowed by God to remove sins from our lives.
God allows our consequences (not all of them, I think) to come upon us in measure needed to correct us. But all in His love for us, His daily touch upon our lives.
Much love!

True , the baby died...but I referred in my post to David getting Uriah killed, so he could take his wife..murder.
David never got what was due him..( neither do we) and David saw that in God..
God Himself calls him "David, a man after mine own heart"...not perfect in actions, but a heart running after God and in position of continual thanksgiving, worship, and repentance.
The one that gets me is Lot.
There was Lot, quite settled there in Sodom... never tried to move elsewhere he had to be dragged out.
Incest with his two daughters producing Moab and Ammon ..( the curses to Israel!) Gen 19
Yet what did God say of him? -
7 "And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds".
And Abraham too...there he was...going with Hagar to bring forth a son , instead of waiting for the promise of Isaac.in faith...yet in the NT it only says- "Faithful Abraham"... And there he was, in fear lying to Pharaoh about Sarah, so much so Pharaoh almost took her to wife!
God does not reckon this to him , God just sees the Father of Faith.
And Gideon in fear, quaking and hiding from the enemy..and God jumps into his life saying ..I've chosen you..... Mighty man of valour.
Praise God..
PS 103:8 "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust."
WOW, what a revelation David had of the Father heart of God..
Davids feet were in the OT, but his heart was in the NT.
He was a true prophet and a seer.

Hi ByGrace,
There is another idea on this part, a man after God's heart, and that is that Saul was a man after the people's heart, that is, he's the sort of man the people choose to be king. David is a man after God's heart, that is, David is the sort of man that God chooses to be king.
I read about that in a Jewish commentary somewhere, maybe one of the Targums? I forget exactly.
Romans 4:17 "(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were."
Much love!

David penned this (Psalm 32:2), so it was about the grace through Christ Jesus that did not impute his sin to his account
Romans But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
And to us
