Scripture makes it clear that true Christians continue in the faith.
Conclusion: Solomon drifted away from the Lord because of his wives. That is a warning to those who are considering marriage to an unbelieving man or woman. He eventually returned to God, but God had removed blessing from his life. The loss of blessing would not be undone. He had lost the significant blessing of God on his life. He made his decision, and God made His. Scripture seems to reveal that Solomon returned to the Lord. I believe we will see him in heaven. Praise God for his mercy and faithfulness even when we are not faithful. The life of Solomon is a great reminder that God wants our hearts. Our wisdom, our Bible knowledge, our wealth, our fame, our wife/husband, our "whatever it is" is not what God is interested in. He wants your heart! He wants your love! He wants you to want Him! We must guard our hearts. How can we do that? Here are several keys: 1) read His Word, 2) pray daily, 3) confess your sins, 4) submit your will to the Holy Spirit, and 5) surround yourself with godly Christians - wise Christians whose lives have a heart passion for God. Ask God to show you who they are! |
