Brother Robert continued the study of David.
Because Nathan was so in tune with God, he didn’t just go to David and tell him he was a sinner, but with love, he showed David his sin through a story.
Nathan went as a friend not a judge.
Nathan didn’t judge David, David judged himself. (Proverbs 27:6)
Restoration of a brother who is in sin should be done only in love. (Galatians 6:1)
This can only be done through getting to know them, becoming their friend.
How should a Christian approach a brother in sin.
Pray – You should be sensitive to God and what God wants you to do.
Absolute truth – Know the whole story. Find the truth. Do not rely on hearsay.
Private – Never confront a brother in public.
Wise Wording – Choose your words carefully. (Proverbs 25:11-12)
Courage – that God is sending you.
Go in God’s love for Restoration not Condemnation.

Study the Word.
Correct with scripture only.
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 3:15-16 (NKJV)
15 All Scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
16 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
