Today's world is a world of materialism and rampant sexuality . In this environment, not only the lives of ordinary people will be affected , the Christian life, faith also be severely affected . "Marriage "is the most important aspect of life hit , in this era became wavering. We have seen is: living together before marriage , extramarital affairs , one-night stands , Aventure , divorce and so on . People treat their feelings freely and marriage , and this way, lead the fashion . But Christians should know that God is not pleased about that . Therefore do not understand God's truth, a Christian , the establishment of a correct view of love and marriage becomes still as important.
" Bible " which has a very unique roll of the book is devoted to love , which not only expresses the love between God and man relationship , and expressed love of nature and of God 's most perfect example of the marriage . This is the " Song of Songs . "
" Song of Songs , " with far-reaching conception elegant style of poetry written , can be said to " Song of Solomon , " the most gentle , the most compelling book of reveries . Scriptures as " Song of Solomon , Song of Songs is "as beautiful works of this volume describes the word . " Songs of Songs "is" the Song of Solomon "the most fitting expression , because it is the most precious human sentiments - love, as the subject .
Love has always been very vague and incomprehensible bright and talented King Solomon , with a number of puzzling words and uncertain statement structure , to describe relations between men and women quite explicit , so that many conservative readers ages has been unacceptable, with only Vague and ambiguous moral law which cover over ; together with Jewish tradition, less than 30 years of age who can not read the " Song of Solomon , " adds to the mystery of this book . But surprising is that the " Song of Solomon "is also an open book ; " Song of Songs "in Hebrew , " " is the Jewish section of the chant of " five-volume "one. " Song of Songs "is a " five volumes , " the first volume , when the chant in the Passover . Passover when Jews read every year , " Song of Solomon " , in order to remind the children of Israel , God 's love to them from slavery in Egypt to save out .
In recent years, Chinese people in our church circles , and gradually people began to study " Song of Solomon "or explain the " Song of Solomon " , which is always conservative feelings Chinese people, is a major breakthrough . However, most teaching the " Song of Songs , " the pastors or books , are still all the way to moral , only emphasized the " Song of Solomon , " the book harmony between believers and God, intimate relationship , but " Song of Songs " surface information ( on the To love, marriage, the sex of information ) are submerged , so the young men and women can not get from pure love of teaching . In the meantime, we have that if " the Song of Songs " is too explicit description of the flesh can not be accepted , it also shows that relations between men and women of our misperceptions .
In fact, the " Song of Solomon "in the literary value, is a pastoral love poems or love songs . It is the human ideal love painted out , men and women from love to marriage is a process in which the gender physical contact described it is only human . Secondly, the " Song of Solomon "in the male and female symbol of divine and human , respectively ; Jewish rabbis , put the electorate they see as the Lord and the nation of Israel ; Christian men and women were put on as lovers of Christ and the Church .
So explain the " Song of Songs "approach , including the fact and content of two parts . The fact is that when God created man in love marriage set , neither abstinence nor pure passion ; connotation refers to God and the believers , the relationship between Christ and the Church , " Song of Solomon " in a relationship then marriage metaphor The relationship between Israel and God .
In addition, the " Song of Solomon "in the theological sense, affirms the value of humanity . And abstinence are the extremes to produce a balancing effect . God set marriage , the physical love is sacred, beautiful , correct, is free. In " Song of Solomon " can not find the shadow of human depravity , we can say , " Song of Songs "is a celebration of the human return to the Garden of Eden . " Song of Solomon , " that love itself is the gift of God . From the self- satisfied to completely committed , this is not a simple process , but a need of grace continued support of the process .
From " Song of Solomon " which we can see the essence of true love and God 's perfect marriage , and this is something we can look forward to have. " Proverbs " chapter 19 verse 14 said: "The housing money . is the legacy of ancestors . only virtuous wife , is the LORD . " So that God gives us a partner ready before the wait is an important lesson . Waiting on God in which one side , strong side heart patient , conservative side of our minds , ideas , body , as should be dedicated to each other our most precious . So, do not worry God has not given you prepare , but first see enough of our own conditions , we are not as frivolous as love , for spiritual needs , but to spend the life together knowing each other . Prior to this , our personality , character , the material basis of preparation is essential. To time, God gave us natural . This is the most beautiful and most durable .
Yuan Peihua in her song "True Love" had this to say : " I have decided , on their confession , the rest of my life dedicated to love , physical desire is not to free the end of the first , mind is not easy to dominate a lie . do not expect Not love , can not tolerate nor is love. passion turbulent , short-term surge ; comes and goes in too fast . not looking forward to is not love, can not tolerate nor is love. stand the test , is the truth and love , and I look forward to Behind every successful man . " like this song can become the voice of us all , let us look forward to love , and love with .
" Song of Solomon "8 Chapter 7 , said : Many waters can not extinguish love , nor floods drown . If one were to want to change all the treasure of love , it would be despised . Brothers and sisters , love like you expect it?
Really?
