Commentary on 1 Kings 8:61

Theological / Devotional

Be perfect. The Scriptures make clear that perfection of character is prerequisite to entrance into the kingdom of heaven. The standard of perfection is found in those principles of righteousness and love set forth in the commandments of God (Matt. 19:16-21; Luke 10:25-28; Deut. 5:2-22, 29-33 ; 6:3-5). The gospel, revealed in types in the OT and in full clarity in the NT, shows how we may obtain the perfection of which Solomon spoke.
