How did secret sins become public?
how did secret sins become public? Many of us remember the fall of David, but how did it start? This process has not changed, it always starts the same way. First the temptation. Being tempted is not yet a sin. How do we get through temptations as a winner? Jesus' help is always needed for this. With the help of our own wisdom and flesh, we always lose the battle when Satan tempts us to sin. We win by standing in the Truth of God's Word. We win with the help of the Holy Spirit when we obey God. We obey what the Bible says. We are subject to God first and then when we resist Satan, he flees from us. We will lose if we even begin to think and brood over a thing that is sin. If we don't stop harboring secret sinful thoughts, it will eventually lead to acts of sin and thus the sin will be exposed in front of everyone. This is serious because even though God forgives sins when we repent, people remember old sins and falls. The enemy of the soul constantly reminds of old sins. The deeper the fall, like in David's life, the more difficult it is to live after it. The world always remembers only what mistakes have been made, even though God has shown mercy and lifted up. That's why public figures come under heavy fire like David was a public figure, i.e. the King himself whose fire sets an example. Likewise, the mistakes and failures of preachers and other srk workers will always come to the fore. That is why it is always important how we react when we are tempted. Sin is no joke, it always brings consequences. Brings grief, sorrow and destruction and death in this world.
