How do we know God's judgment on David was just?

Answered in 1 source

God's judgment on David for his sin is just, as sin always carries consequences, especially for those in positions of leadership.

David's judgement by God serves as a significant reminder of the gravity of sin, particularly for those who hold authority. In 2 Samuel 12, Nathan the prophet confronts David, and God outlines the consequences, saying the sword would never depart from his house. This judgment maintains God's holiness and justice while expressing the seriousness of David's betrayal. It also reflects the Reformed understanding of sin's pervasive impact and how believers are still accountable to God for their actions, despite His grace. The narrative illustrates that God's grace does not negate His justice; rather, both coexist as part of His divine nature.
