Summary
“Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole of the Adam,” writes Solomon, “God will bring every deed into judgment…”
But Solomon already told us that all our “deeds” were evil, and God “does everything.”
What does God want from us? . . . Why does God judge us?
Saint Paul answers in Romans, quoting David, Solomon’s father: “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you (God) are judged.”
God wants us to see His Judgment and so justify Him when we judge Him.
With His Judgment, God creates Faith in Himself in us.
With His Judgment, God creates Wisdom in us.
With His Judgment upon David and Bathsheba, God created Solomon.
Fearless, Faithful Love is the Commandment of God and the Wisdom of God. Fear is the beginning of Wisdom, but Wisdom is the end of fear. What God wants from us is what He is in the process of giving us.
He wants Faith, which is Wisdom, which is Christ in us.
He wants you to like Him. This is the completion of Adam.
