...except in the matter of Uriah the Hitite-1 Kings 15:5
The most prominent example in Scripture is King David. Not
only did he take another man's wife, he then too the man's life to cover up his adultery. Yet despite his despicable deeds, when he was confronted, David repented. He became the standard by which future kings of Israel were judged because his heart was loyal to the Lord.
God knows the heart of everyone, and He is no respecter of persons. Although the truth of sin can be painful, when it's confessed and forgiven, it can be used to turn our hearts toward God

You can't put your sins behind you
until you are willing to face them.
기꺼이 죄를 대면하지 않으면 결코 죄에서 벗어날 수 없다.
