Eternal Security of your Identity!

The King David Example - Part I
In order to discover and comprehend who we are in Christ, it would be encouraging for us to affirm our personal and positional, "new legal citizenship status" in which we stand in God's courtroom! We can see this rather well by using the story of King David and Bathsheba. This story is a tremendous paradigm of David's strength, confidence, humility (brokenness), and his complete understanding of who he was in Messiah Jesus, our Savior. Let's examine this further by reading the second book of Samuel, Chapter 11. I'll be summarizing.

Can you just imagine these two lovebirds, King David and Bathsheba? Maybe things were getting t1oo good for David. After all, he was King of Israel. He had become powerful, rich, and famous (he was like Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, of his day). The kingdom of Israel was prospering, especially in its capital city of Jerusalem. God appeared to bless everything that David touched. This is David - King of Israel! Songwriter! Musician! Military strategist! He was, "A man after God's own heart!" (Acts 13:22) However, there was a season of missing the mark, in David's heart?
Everyone has weaknesses. None of us is perfect. Even God's anointed one, King David, had weaknesses, a compound fracture of his spirit, no different than any of us. Personally, this gives us all a great deal of hope and comfort! Why? If God could take a man such as David - who failed in such a spectacular way, tumbling into willful choice to sin, but a planned and calculated series of them, and the Lord still support such a man! -Then Jesus can also use you and me!

We don't' have to be perfect to be used by God, but willing and able to be a servant to all with acts of goodwill and kindness. If we surrender to Him, He will guide us down the road of faith and trust, working and molding our lives one day at a time to make us more in the image of Jesus Christ, just like He did with King David. That gives me/us incredible hope!
You may be asking, "What's the point of all this? Why did God choose to reveal King David's sin for all eternity by putting it in the Bible?" The point is, that the story doesn't end here. David fully comprehended the grace and mercy of God. He depended upon that grace and mercy to save his life, and it did! David knew and grasped the crystal-clear fact that once you turn from your wrongdoing and ask - from your heart
Father God for forgiveness, you can be fully comforted with the knowledge that the highest Supreme Courtroom in the universe declares you NOT GUITY. There is now NO CONDEMNATION! David, knew who he was, in Christ with his true citizenship! That's a guarantee that you can live with both now and for all eternity!

This story of David's abundant failures serves as a wonderful testimony of God's mercy, grace, and never-ending love. David, Bathsheba, and Solomon are all part of Jesus' family tree my Messiah and yours. God made sure we'd know that by instructing our brother Matthew to include them in Jesus' genealogy. There, we find Solomon listed as, "the son of Bathsheba, who had been Uriah's wife". It's a testament, both now and forever, that God takes the messed-up, the broken lives, the worst sinners, and makes them His sons and daughters by working all deeds for good, creating beautiful testimonies out of them in our lives and in the lives of all who simply believe! Guaranteed!
