Ecclesiastes 12 Conclusion

"Of making many books there is no end,
and much study wearies the body.
Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil."
To live "properly" we need to
1. Recognize that human effort apart from God is futile
2. Put God first.... Right Now
3. Obey the Holy Inspired writings from the bible
(not from man)
4. Receive everything good as a gift from God
5. Realize that God will judge both evil and good
How strange that people spend their lives striving
for the very enjoyment that God gives freely,
as a gift!
