The terrible cost of sin
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: In this meditation, the focus is on the importance of calling people to holiness and presenting it as beautiful and positive, rather than just instilling fear of damnation. The example of David's life is used to illustrate the cost of sin and the beauty of holiness. When David repents of his sins, he humbles himself before God and is forgiven, showing the mercy and grace of God. However, there are still consequences to his actions, such as the death of his illegitimate child and ongoing conflict in his lineage. The meditation emphasizes the importance of balance and nuance in God's treatment of His people, and the church should strive to emulate this.

In our last meditation we began a small study of the life of King David and specifically focused on the episode of his adultery and his murder of Uriah, Bathsheba's husband, with whom King David had had an adulterous relationship that had resulted in her pregnancy. We talked about the God of justice, the God of holiness.
We examined the terrible cost that sin has on the life of the human being, we saw that sin affects our conscience, affects our relationship with Heavenly Father and gives the devil room to also wreak havoc on our lives and to accuse us before God, therefore sin is always costly.
