The fall of solomon

4/3/2015

It is good Friday or as I like to call it, the best Friday ever. I think it is good then, knowing the sacrifice of Christ, that today we read about the idolatry and fall of Solomon. Solomon follows his own flesh and desires, not God’s heart. Solomon’s life is then characterized by the actions of his flesh. People whose lifestyle is characterized by the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God, for a life so characterized indicates that saving faith is not present in them (Gal. 5:19-21). Believers then, or those who possess saving faith, should “make no provision for the flesh to gratify its desires” (Romans 13:14). Jesus came and died as an atonement for our sins, so that unlike Solomon, we can have the power to put the flesh to death in our bodies. On this day, more than ever we need to remember this atonement and the power it give us. Do not follow Solomon’s example.
