1 Samuel 12:20-21
Understand the Evil
Israel asking for a king was them rejecting God as ruler in their lives (8:7)
King Saul gave more examples of rejecting God’s rule (13:7-9, 14:18-20, 15:3, 8-9).
The sin we see on the outside is a symptom of what’s in our hearts.
All sin is a question of who’s rule we are accepting in our lives.
Don’t Turn away from the Lord
In understanding the evil of our sin there’s a temptation to run from God.
Turning away from God only makes things worse (12:21).
When confronted, Saul consistently turned away from the Lord (13:11-12, 14:43-44, 15:13-21).
The one you sinned against is the only one who can save you and change you.
Wholeheartedly Serve the Lord
It shows the grace of God that those who sinned can still serve Him.
This service to God must be whole-hearted.
Saul’s life was characterized by Him holding to His own kingdom.
The gospel shows us that there is meaningful service in our future no matter our past (Ephesians 2:10).
