How can we relate to biblical characters like David?

Characters like David highlight the reality of human frailty and the grace of God. Despite being referred to as a man after God's own heart, David was deeply flawed—he experienced failure and fear. His story teaches us that every great figure in the Bible, from Abraham to Paul, needed God's grace. Just like David, we too can experience God's mercy despite our shortcomings. His journey illustrates the importance of humility and reliance on God's strength, showing us that we can relate to these characters as fellow sinners saved by grace.
