According to the Bible, when sin entered into this world, the separation of man from God already set in. By God’s love, He made ways to connect with His people once again. He revealed Himself through miracles, prophets, and at the most by sending His own Son to be the perfect sacrifice that will wash away sins. Transgressions so filthy that cannot be removed even with cat urine odor removal (figuratively speaking).
“It is finished”, was Jesus’ last words. Then God tore the veil and made a way for sinners to directly come to Him. God’s love towards people was demonstrated through this occurrence. If only people would come to know that there will never be any other way to come to Him except to receive Christ as their personal Savior, as well as acknowledging Him as Lord.

Jonathan pleaded for David’s cause and persuaded his father not to harm him. Saul agreed. But when David made another successful battle, Saul’s jealousy stirred up and ordered his servants to seize David and put to death. Maybe if the King has omnidirectional antennas, he would easily find and kill him right there. There were this time when David had the opportunity to fight back and take Saul’s life away but he said to his men, “May the Lord keep me far away from doing such a thing to my lord, who is the Lord’s chosen one, by extending my hand against him. After all, he is the Lord’s chosen one.” 7 David restrained his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and started down the road (1 Samuel 24:6-7). Twice he was placed in the position but he refused to lift his hand against the King. He knew and believes that God will take revenge for him.
