The conclusion of the whole matter

by Pastor Jim Brown
Calvary Chapel on the Horizon

(www.calvarychapel-horizon.com)





Ecc 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

============

Solomon, the wisest man ever on the earth, writes out his thoughts in his old age and tells us through the book of Ecclesiastes that all (women (from the man’s perspective), power, money, knowledge, etc.) is vanity or emptiness and he finishes the book in chapter 12 with verses 13 & 14...

V13 tells us that in lieu of all the vanities, we should fear God and keep His commandments (loving Him with our heart, mind, soul, and strength and loving our neighbor as ourselves), but in verse 14 he continues by saying that God shall judge everything – things done publically and things done in private...

What I keep hearing in this is we must “number our days” (Psalm 90:12) and walk circumspectly: redeeming the time (Eph 5:15-16)...we have so little time on this earth to make an impact for the Kingdom of God! Has God placed a call on your life that you are leaving unfulfilled? Maybe you’re saying I have no calling – have you truly asked Him what He would like you to do and then honestly listened and obeyed?

If you are not walking in a right relationship with Jesus, the first thing to do is repent and seek God’s grace and forgiveness and then ask Him...”God, you are my creator – what have you created me for?”

He will tell you! Ephesians 2:10 tells us: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”.

Pray with me that we take advantage of every opportunity the Lord gives us for furthering His work...
