1 Kings 6:11-13: Concerning which thou art building
July 21st, 2011
1 Kings 6:11-13
And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying, Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgements, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake to unto David thy father: and I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
This is a really great passage to illustrate how works themselves aren’t enough to keep God’s favor, but that we have to keep Him in our heart, too, for Him to be able to fulfill all His promises to us.
