Cleansed By The Blood

Cleansed By The Blood

Psalm 51

All of us rebel against God. Like King David who committed adultery and murder, even we who know God in covenant relationship as Father and as our Saviour, willfully rebel against him. And like King David, none of us are too far gone for God to forgive and restore us. In Psalm 51 we follow David from crying for mercy and confessing sin, through cleansing and renewal, to living a changed life to the glory of God. This psalm is a wonderful model of repentance, and the confidence we can have to approach God through the sacrifice of Jesus.
