Ransom | Lowering Our Defenses (2 Samuel 12:1-13)

When we’re accused of doing wrong, it’s easy to get defensive, making excuses or comparing ourselves to others. But with our defenses up, repentance is impossible. God, however, lowers our defenses by inviting us into His openarms, where we don’t need to pretend to be perfect. He doesn’t ask us to confess our sins because He doesn’t know them—He already does. He calls us to repent so that we might fully understand the weight of our sin and, in turn, call out for His mercy. And when we do, God is always quick to forgive.Thanks for listening to our podcast!
