Psalms 51

What does SIN do to the Christian?

1. SIN SOILS THE SOUL.
vs. 1,2 "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2.Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin."

2. SIN FILLS THE MIND
vs.3,4 "For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4.Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest."

3. SIN DEPRESSES THE HEART
vs.10 "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

4. SIN BRINGS CHASTISEMENT
vs.11-13 "Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12.Restore unto me they joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13.Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee."

5. SIN GRIEVES THE HOLY SPIRIT
vs.14 "Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness."

6. SIN DEPRIVES US FROM OUR WITNESS
vs.15 "O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise."

Psalms 51

What happens when a Christian repents?


1. ATTITUDE CHANGES ABOUT SIN
vs.1,2 "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2.Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin."

2. AN INWARD WORKING TAKES PLACE
vs.6 "Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hiden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom."

3. A DESIRE FOR GOD'S FORGIVENESS

vs.4,9 "Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 9.Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities."

4. GOD FORGIVES
1John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

5. GOD RESTORES
vs.12 "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvaton: and uphold me with thy free spirit."
