Last part: Psalm 130 as poetry
1. Be sure that God has forgiven you. Confess your wrong deeds to him. Thank him that, by his death, Jesus suffered the punishment instead of you. Invite God into your life and trust his promises (John 3:16; Acts 3:19). Ask God to help you so that you can obey him.
2. Compare Psalm 51 with Psalm 130. Both Psalms are about the same subjects: our evil deeds, and God’s desire to forgive us.
3. Read Jesus’ story in Luke 15:11-24. It will help you to understand how kind God is to forgive us.
4. Read Jesus’ story in Luke 18:9-14. It will help you to understand the proper attitude for occasions when you must confess your wrong behaviour to God. And then read God’s promise for people who confess their evil deeds to God, in 1 John 1:9.
Next part: Psalm 131
