Look at David - murderer, adulterer, liar - and he was a man after God's own heart?

no, those who do wrong favor themselves.
and therefore usually do quite well out of it.

David also suffered greatly for his sins. He lost his newborn son, his daughter was raped by his son, his son hated him and then was killed etc. etc. He was forgiven but he did not go unpunished.

I don't know God. I don't know what "he" feels or thinks.
Maybe that guy was truely good at heart.
I know nothing of this subject, so why am I answering?

God favors anyone who has will and power, and who claims to be doing God's will (whatever that might be).
Of course, you can get just as far ahead with just the will and power.

The Bible was written for man, by man. Basically you can do anything you like, you confess, you are forgiven. It's whether you can live with yourself. If you keep it to yourself, then everyone else can live with you.

What a question. David was a man in the image of God, just like you and me. But he was also just a man. He had his faults, as do you and I, but he had a repentant heart. His heart was for the people in his kingdom, and he longed to do God’s will. It seems that so many people expect Christians to be flawless – to never screw up, never be afraid, never lie, etc. One day, we’ll be perfected, but since there’s no man perfect but one, that’ll be at the Resurrection.
