Submissive in Judgment The United Kingdom Lesson 18 Weak in Flesh…. Submissive in Judgment 2 Samuel 11:1-12:25

Sin Sin literally means falling short of the mark. Sin is the rejection of the sufficiency of God’s provision

What we must focus on is how God views the situations.

Ezekiel 18:23: “Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked Ezekiel 18:23: “Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?”

We don’t judge and condemn people to God, we forgive and love them to God.

Step 1: Isolation

1 Peter 5:8: “Be alert and of sober mind 1 Peter 5:8: “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

1 Corinthians 10:13: “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

Step 2: Focus

Genesis 3:6a: “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye..” “The eyes are the window to your soul.” - William Shakespeare

Step 3: Conviction

Mark 4:22: “For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.” Numbers 32:23b: “you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure your sin will find you out.”

2 Samuel 12:10-12: “Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house;

2 Samuel 12:10-12: “and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.’”

Step 4: Accountability

2 Samuel 12:13: “I have sinned against the Lord.” Numbers 32:23b: “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
