Is it true to say, “You’re not David!”? Well, yes and no. It depends on what “David” Scripture is talking about. Are we David who is a type of Christ in his office as King? No, we are not that David. Are we David the man, the sinner? The David of Psalms 32 and 51? Are we David the justified? The David Paul talks about in Rom. 4? Yes, we are that David.

You Are Not a David! Or Are You? — Reformed Baptist Seminary We should never preach the moral examples outside the context of redemptive grace. But within the context of the Gospel, we should preach OT examples, after all, they all had like natures as ours, even David.
