THE CONCLUSION
Read Ecclesiastes 12 Solution for the Life
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is mans all. (Ecclesiastes 12:13 NKJV)
After writing of his search for security, significance, successes and satisfaction, Solomon concludes the end is vanity of all vanity, if there is no fear of God and keeping His commandments with anticipation of the day of judgment.
First, to fear God. This fear is out of love, reverence to who God is and what He has done for us. Its not slavish one that keeps us in accessible. The fear here gives the desire to know and serve Him. When there is the fear of God, there is wisdom (Proverbs
Keeping His commandment is evidence of our fear of God. It is not legalistic way of keeping the letter of the law, its ritual and observation of feasts and days. It is obedience to His word, avoiding sin and out of love. We abide in Christ when we keep His commandments (1John 3:22-24)
Prayer: Lord, thanks for the revelation and inspiration given to us for the meaning of life. In Christ we are fully satisfied and significant. For all thing we enjoyed and challenges we have find meaning in You. We obey Your commands as the only way to realize its true value.
