2 How To Respond When You Fail PSALM 51

3 PSALM 51:1-19 Be gracious to me, God, according to your faithful love; according to your abundant compassion, blot out my rebellion. Completely wash away my guilt and cleanse me from my sin. For I am conscious of my

4 PSALM 51:1-19 rebellion, and my sin is always before me. Against you you alone I have sinned and done this evil in your sight. So you are right when you pass sentence; you are blameless when you judge.

5 PSALM 51:1-19 Indeed, I was guilty when I was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me. Surely you desire integrity in the inner self, and you teach me wisdom deep within. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be

6 PSALM 51:1-19 clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Turn your face away from my sins and blot out all my guilt. God, create a clean heart

7 PSALM 51:1-19 for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore the joy of your salvation to me, and sustain me by giving me a willing spirit.

8 PSALM 51:1-19 Then I will teach the rebellious your ways, and sinners will return to you. Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God God of my salvation and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

9 PSALM 51:1-19 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it; you are not pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit.

10 PSALM 51:1-19 You will not despise a broken and humbled heart, God. In your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will delight in righteous

11 PSALM 51:1-19 sacrifices, whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

12 PSALM 51: For the choir director. A psalm of David, when the prophet Nathan came to him after he had gone to Bathsheba.

13 2 SAMUEL 11:3 So David sent someone to inquire about her, and he said, Isn t this Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?

14 2 SAMUEL 11:26-27 When Uriah s wife heard that her husband Uriah had died, she mourned for him. When the time of mourning ended, David had her brought to his house. She became his wife and bore him a son.

15 DAVID S PERSPECTIVE ON HIS FAILURE: Confession

16 DAVID S PERSPECTIVE ON HIS FAILURE: Confession Restoration

17 DAVID S PERSPECTIVE ON HIS FAILURE: Confession Restoration Redemption

18 1. Confession

19 David understands and admits the severity of his failure.

20 CONFESSION: By taking complete ownership of what he s done.

21 PSALM 51:1-2 Be gracious to me, God, according to your faithful love; according to your abundant compassion, blot out my rebellion. Completely wash away my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.

22 CONFESSION: By taking complete ownership of what he s done. By feeling the weight of his guilt.

23 PSALM 51:3 For I am conscious of my rebellion, and my sin is always before me.

24 You will never learn to hate sin if you cannot feel the weight and the severity of your failure.

25 CONFESSION: By taking complete ownership of what he s done. By feeling the weight of his guilt. By understanding that in every way, his sin is against God.

26 PSALM 51:4 Against you you alone I have sinned and done this evil in your sight. So you are right when you pass sentence; you are blameless when you judge.

27 CONFESSION: By acknowledging his sin is not just something he s done, but it s who he is.

28 PSALM 51:5 Indeed, I was guilty when I was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

29 ROMANS 7:22-24 For in my inner self I delight in God s law, but I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law

30 ROMANS 7:22-24 of sin in the parts of my body. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

31 ROMANS 3:9-18 What then? Are we any better off? Not at all! For we have already charged that both Jews and Gentiles are all under sin, as it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one.

32 ROMANS 3:9-18 There is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away; all alike have become worthless. There is no one who does what is good, not even one.

33 ROMANS 3:9-18 Their throat is an open grave; they deceive with their tongues. Vipers venom is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and wretchedness

34 ROMANS 3:9-18 are in their paths, and the path of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

35 2. Restoration

36 RESTORATION: 1. David understands and feels that God s justice demands his death.

37 2 SAMUEL 12:5 David was infuriated with the man and said to Nathan: As the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die!

38 PSALM 51:4 So you are right when you pass sentence; you are blameless when you judge.

39 PSALM 51:14 Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God

40 RESTORATION: 1. David understands and feels that God s justice demands his death. So he prays for cleansing.

41 PSALM 51:7-8 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

42 RESTORATION: 1. David understands and feels that God s justice demands his death. So he prays for cleansing. He prays for forgiveness.

43 PSALM 51:9,11 Turn your face away from my sins and blot out all my guilt. Do not banish me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.

44 RESTORATION: 1. David understands and feels that God s justice demands his death. So he prays for cleansing. He prays for forgiveness. He prays for transformation.

45 PSALM 51:10 God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

46 RESTORATION: 2. David understands that only God can forgive, cleanse, and transform him.

47 2 SAMUEL 12:13 David responded to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. Then Nathan replied to David, the Lord has taken away your sin, you will not die.

48 ROMANS 3:21-26 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets. The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe,

49 ROMANS 3:21-26 since there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. They are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presented him as an atoning sacrifice in his blood,

50 ROMANS 3:21-26 received through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed. God presented him to demonstrate

51 ROMANS 3:21-26 his righteousness at the present time, so that he would be righteous and declare righteous the one who has faith in Jesus.

52 3. Redemption

53 REDEMPTION 1. David understands that God can and does use extremely broken and sinful people to accomplish great good.

54 PSALM 51:12 Restore the joy of your salvation to me, and sustain me by giving me a willing spirit.

55 PSALM 51:13 Then I will teach the rebellious your ways, and sinners will return to you.

56 PSALM 51:16-17 You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it; you are not pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit. You will not despise a broken and humbled heart, God.

57 APPLICATION 1. Get real about your sin with God and others.

58 APPLICATION 2. Pray like David when you fail.

59 APPLICATION 3. Understand the incredible grace of God in Christ.
