Why Did David Get a Pass? The Early Christian View of Repentance

About this message

King David committed terrible sins, yet he became the standard of righteousness. Jason Willis finds the reason in repentance. Early Christians saw it as a way of life: turning from sin, loving God and neighbor, and remaining in righteousness to the end, with real mercy for those who truly return.
