Pastor Ralph Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Q1. (Psalm 51:1-9) It seems that in verses 1-9 David emphasizes God’s mercy, his own sinfulness, and the completeness of God’s hoped for cleansing. Is it healthy to dwell on your own sinfulness? Why or why not? Does a person who has sinned greatly appreciate forgiveness more than one who has not? Why or why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhndwsh53 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Psalm 51:1-9 1. No because nothing good dwells from sin. the guilt; of the unhealthy dwelling of sin in our hearts causes suffering to our well being and to others. The dwelling of sin is even more against our heavenly father it is a breach that must be healed at all cost. We recognize that in life we as believers will constantly have to battle with sin because of our human nature and must confess and acknowledge our sin to God for his mercy. THE PLEAD FOR GOD'S MERCY (PSALM 51:1-3) "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to yout great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse mefrom my sin" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioned Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Q1. (Psalm 51:1-9) It seems that in verses 1-9 David emphasizes God’s mercy, his own sinfulness, and the completeness of God’s hoped for cleansing. Is it healthy to dwell on your own sinfulness? Why or why not? Does a person who has sinned greatly appreciate forgiveness more than one who has not? Why or why not? It is healthy for a person to dwell on a sin committed up to the time of repentance. Once he/she has repented and received forgiveness of God there is no need for them to continue dweling on that sin. To continue to dwell on the sin is not accepting the power of God to forgive and His great mercy. There is no sin greater than any other, we should appreciate God's forgiveness ALWAYS.

csreeves Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 yes to look into my heart for my sins and repent, but not to continually look at the past because God has forgiven me so if I look back I am not trusting God. Yes I have sinned greatly and God has redeemed me beyond my wildest dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyT Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 Q1. (Psalm 51:1-9) It seems that in verses 1-9 David emphasizes God’s mercy, his own sinfulness, and the completeness of God’s hoped for cleansing. Is it healthy to dwell on your own sinfulness? Yes and no. Why or why not? We need to remember our sin. What lead to it, where we were mentally, spiritually at that that time, etc or we'll do it again. Does a person who has sinned greatly appreciate forgiveness more than one who has not? I think so. Why or why not? Because we know we shouldn't have God's grace, but we do and it's extremely humbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
