WHICH OF YOUR FRIENDS LOVE YOU ENOUGH TO CORRECT YOU?
David repented of his sin, but God’s judgement was that his child would die. The consequences of David’s sin were irreversible. Sometimes an apology isn’t enough. When God forgives us and restores our relationship to him, he doesn’t eliminate all the consequences of our wrongdoings. We may be tempted to say. “If this is wrong, I can say always apologize to God,” but we must remember that we may set into motion events with consequences that cannot be reversed.
