So many people feel like after sinning or living a lifestyle of sin, they are unqualified to represent the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, some Christians have adopted this mindset and are condemning people who have messed up and missed the mark.

For those who feel condemned and for those who condemn others, understand this: David had lust in his heart for a married woman, committed an adulterous act with that woman, and used his power to have the woman’s husband killed (2 Samuel 11). God knew David would commit these acts, but God still called David a man after His own heart. Not only was David a man after God’s own heart, but God used David’s bloodline to send Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

If God can use David and all his flaws to send the Savior of the world, He can use anyone one of us to represent His Kingdom. Remove the guilt and condemnation because the blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all our past, present, and future sins.

Acts 13:22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.
