A Song for When You're Sorry for What You've Done

Psalm 51 reminds us of the gravity of sin. You and I may think our sin is small, but it is severe. What we perceive to be the slightest sin is infinitely severe before God. It is a defiance of God, and it destroys you and others. That is not an overstatement: recall that according to Genesis 3, sin and death entered the world through one sin. A piece of fruit was eaten, and condemnation came to all men. Consider the sins of David, who committed adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrated the death of her husband, Uriah. These were severe sins that had severe consequences.
