Getting Traction on Attraction

Christian View of Physical Attraction - Song of Solomon 1:2-8

May 15, 2024 • Scott Richards • Song of Songs 1:2–8, Hebrews 13:4, Proverbs 18:1, 1 Peter 3:3–4

Solomon's song begins with the woman expressing a physical attraction and desire for Solomon. She has issues and history, but seeks Godly counsel and pursues Solomon in such a way where both are able to experience and acknowledge the emotions that will naturally accompany attraction to each other. God isn't against these things. The challenge is balancing a desire to be with someone and committing to their walk with God as one you'd want to emulate as well.


1. God considers marriage, sex, and physical attraction as honorable. Not sinful by nature.

2. Everyone has issues. What makes someone exceptional is if they bring them to God or not.

3. Every relationship should be built on common ground.
