Monday: Create in Me a Clean Heart
Daily Lesson for Monday 12th of February 2024
Read Psalms 51:1-5. Why does the psalmist appeal to God’s mercy?
King David pours out his heart before the Lord, asking for the forgiveness of sin during the spiritually darkest moments in his life (2 Samuel 12:1-31). Forgiveness is God’s extraordinary gift of grace, the result of the “multitude of Your tender mercies” (Psalms 51:1, NKJV). King David appeals to God to deal with him not in accordance with what his sin deserves (Psalms 103:10) but in accordance with His divine character, namely His mercy, faithfulness, and compassion (Psalms 51:1; Exodus 34:6-7).

Read Psalms 51:6-19. How is forgiveness of sin portrayed here? What is the goal of divine forgiveness?
Divine forgiveness involves more than a legal proclamation of innocence. It produces a profound change that reaches the most inner parts of human self (Psalms 51:6, Hebrews 4:12). It brings about a new creation (Psalms 51:10, John 3:3-8). The Hebrew verb bara’, translated “create,” depicts divine creative power (Genesis 1:1). Only God can bara’; only God can produce a radical and lasting change in the repentant person’s heart (2 Corinthians 4:6).
David asks for cleansing with hyssop (Leviticus 14:2-8, Psalms 51:7). He feels that his guilt keeps him banned from the Lord’s presence in the same way as the leper is banned from the community while the state of uncleanness lasts (Psalms 51:11). He fears that sacrifices cannot restore him fully because there was no sacrifice that could atone for his premeditated sins of adultery and murder (Exodus 21:14, Leviticus 20:10).
Only unconditional divine grace could accept David’s “broken and contrite heart” as a sacrifice and restore David back into harmony with God (Psalms 51:16, 17). By asking for cleansing with hyssop, he wants to return to God’s presence.
If God can forgive David for adultery, deception, and murder, what hope exists for you?

Тётя, почему наша церковь не выступает категорически против абортов?
3 января 2022 | Дорогая тётя Аня, Я возмущена позицией церкви в отношении абортов. Официальный сайт adventist.org не предлагает чего-то большего, чем просто расплывчатое предложение использовать собственные убеждения для принятия решения. Хотя адвентисты прямо «не оправдывают» аборты, но они не осуждают прекращение жизни. С другой стороны, адвентисты ясно заявляют, что наша церковь «против гомосексуализма», поэтому я […] Source: https://atoday.org/%d1%82%d1%91%d1%82%d1%8f-%d0%bf%d0%be%d1%87%d0%b5%d0%bc%d1%83-%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%88%d0%b0-%d1%86%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%ba%d0%be%d0%b2%d1%8c-%d0%bd%d0%b5-%d0%b2%d1%8b%d1%81%d1%82%d1%83%d0%bf%d0%b0%d0%b5%d1%82/
