5 out of 5 stars *****
This weekly bible study, 2 Samuel, is about David, the man who is after God's heart. The life of David from little shepherd boy whose faith in God gives him the courage to face Goliath, the giant Philistine champion, to King David, the older man whose past sins cause death and turmoil in the King's household. The study exposes this biblical hero as a man fraught with flaws just as all mankind has. The marked difference in David from most men is his genuine sincerity with repentance once he realizes his sin. The lesson taught through David's life is that all sin must exact a cost; so all calamities and tragedies are not necessarily shaping tools in God's hands; they can be repercussions from past sins, as well. Also, the need for God, His Holy Spirit, and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, are essential for justification of our sins and salvation for eternal life once this mortal one ends.
