What did David do after he sinned with Bathsheba?

After being convicted of adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah, David begged for forgiveness. He poured out his heart in the Psalms in sweat drops, demonstrating he was a true child of God, because his sin deeply bothered him.

Les teaches that David was a believer who fell into a great sin—adultery with Bathsheba and murdering Uriah—but he did not lose his salvation. After conviction, David knew how to beg for forgiveness, pouring out his heart in the Psalms in sweat drops. His sorrow showed he was a true child of God; otherwise his sin would never have bothered him. This illustrates that grace is not license.
