FAITH CAPSULE: There is no reasonable excuse before God. 

2 Samuel 12

With sin, no one accesses the presence of God. 
Is sin and sinning your way of life?
For sin, do not assume the mercy of God but repent before God.
Sin and sinning are not acceptable or excusable before God.
Through the Bible pages, no one lives life above sin and sinning against God by violating the word of God.
There is no acclaimed believer or one with a title that gets away with sin or sinning before God without consequence.
Eve made Adam sin before God.
Before God, Adam had a reasonable excuse for his sin. The excuse states, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:12)  
Before God, there is no excuse to sin. 
Disobedient before God is a path of sinning.
Eve and Adam sinned before God, and they received a measured painful consequence from God.
None is excusable from the consequence of sin before God.
Imagine God testifies David as a man after His heart, and with his sin, there was no excuse from the consequences of his sin.
Act 13:22 records the testimony of God, “And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.”
King David sinned before God when he violated the wife of Uriah and set Uriah up for his death.
After the killing of Uriah, God sent Prophet Nathan to David, pointing out the sin of David and the consequences of his sin before God.
2 Samuel 12:7-12 records, “Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more! Why have you despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon. 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; 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.’”
Before God, there is none that is above the consequence of sin. 
David repented before God, but the consequence followed through over his life of David.

Prayer for today: Ask against sinning before God in your life.
