The case of Naaman, the great Syrian general who had won impressive victories on the battlefield, shows that not all the advantages of this life will be sufficient to overcome the loathesome disease of sin. He had to get to the man of God and hear from him the word of God if he would be healed of his leprosy. This chapter presents humility as the leading characteristic of saving faith. Naaman was enraged when he heard that he had to dip in the Jordan River. But the gentle testimony of his servants persuaded him that he must submit to that word of the Lord if he would be healed. This chapter also reveals the danger in the household of faith that not even such an association renders the people of God immune to the temptation to sin. Naaman's leprosy was still active at the end of the chapter but it was active in Gehazi, a warning to all of God's people to keep their eyes on the Lord and not on the things of this world.
