2 Samuel 11-12, Psalms 111, Romans 14
What God said to me – You’ve heard it said that no man is an island and it is true. You don’t live your life in isolation. Your sin or obedience or your beliefs or unbelief don’t just affect you – it affects others – your family – your community – even your nation. When people declare this is my life or this is my body and I will do with it as I want, they discount the fact that there is not just individual judgment, but there is national judgment for those nations who deny My sovereignty. When David chose to sin with Bathsheba and have her husband, Uriah, sent to the heat of the battle to be killed, his sin didn’t just affect him or even Bathsheba or Uriah – it also affected his family and his nation. When you choose ungodliness – even ungodliness that has been declared legal by your nation – you are not just making a personal choice but, you are affecting your family and your country because judgment will fall. “I AM” holy and I will not be mocked.
