Theme: Stand for Righteousness Text: 2 Samuel 12:1-8 Intro: are you ready to die for Christ sake? Many believer say yes but most of them are not living for Him. If we are going to stand for God in the world that rejects him, then we must be first right for Him. It is more important that our lives match the things that we say important to us. 1 Pet 2:24-25 “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls”
Illus: Peter -1 Pet 2:24-25 Peter wrote that we are dead to sins. Peter was saying that our sins have no longer power to eternal separation from God. Because of what Jesus did at the cross of Calvary. He expects us to live in righteousness. A good definition of righteousness is “doing or being what is right before God.” God did not save us for us to live like we are lost. But rather He intends for His children to live a life that is right before God.
Illus: Prophet Nathan – 2 Sam 12:1-8 Nathan is the prophet in the time of David. God asked Nathan to deliver the message to the king David. 2 Sam 11. King David committed adultery with Bathsheba. David killed Bathsheba’s husband just to get her. 2 Sam 12:7-12; 13; 14 - God desire to confront David through prophet Nathan and tell him what he has done and the consequences of the sin he committed. Even he ask forgiveness and repent still he suffered the consequences which the Child who Bathsheba carried would be die at birth.
Three applications in life
1. Only a way to a person can be righteous in the sight of the God is by repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 5:21 – to be right with God we must be born again. If a person is not saved he can’t be right with God. 2. After salvation, God expects a person to live a righteous life. Rom 6:18. God expected David to live a righteous life but David failed. Nathan on the other hand was willing to do what pleases God no matter the cost even his life. 3. Jesus is our example of what a righteous life should be. David was supposed the example to follow by the Israelite people, but if David would be the example they would also fall. The only perfect pattern of righteousness is Jesus.
We need to be like Nathan who is willing to stand up for what is right with God no matter the personal cost.
