Psalms 51, 32

PsalmsSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the penitential Psalms, which are characterized by remorse and confession of sin. He notes that while David sinned with Bathsheba, his actions did not break his relationship with God, but caused physical symptoms in his body. Gregg emphasizes the importance of true repentance, which involves acknowledging the magnitude of one's sins and the harm caused to innocent people and to God. He also addresses the popular evangelical belief in original sin, explaining that David's confession in Psalm 51 should not be taken as a theological statement about sin nature.
