Accountability - Spiritual and Moral

When King David sinned against God via adultery and murder, he had a friend in Nathan to whom he was accountable. It took courage for Nathan to approach the king, who could end his life right there, and help him account for his actions and repent. David and Nathan had a relationship of trust too many people lack in their life.Sin percolates in darkness. Each one of us has areas of weakness that must be confronted and dealt with. Blind spots in our spiritual walk may elude us but with someone to whom we are accountable, we can eradicate them.Trust and accountability doesn't just happen. It takes building a relationship over time and a willingness to be vulnerable.Restoration and reconciliation is what we are called to as believers. Little compares to the freedom we have in Christ when this happens.
