(Ecclesiastes 12:13) Now that we have heard the end of the matter, fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of man.
(Ecclesiastes 12:14) God will judge every deed and every secret thing, good or evil.
Introduction:
A few minutes before the beginning of the new year, we want to find the lessons of the Bible to think about at this point in time.
1. Right relationship with God
Today's text gives us a lesson about what the duty of man is. It is the duty of man to maintain a normal relationship with God.(13)
The book of Ecclesiastes is like a memoir that gives life-oriented lessons written by Solomon in his old age. He is a person who has lived well enough to be happy in the world by anyone who has enjoyed and lived enough to enjoy wealth and glory. But rather, he declares that it was only useless to him. (Ecclesiastes 12:8) The evangelist said, “Vanity, vanity, all things are vanity.
(Ecclesiastes 12:1) Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of affliction come, before the year nears when I will say that I have no pleasure (Ecclesiastes 12:2) Before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars become dark The clouds after the rain do it before you get up again
The basis of our life is to distinguish between the first and the latter. May Jesus speak about life in his Sermon on the Mount
(Matthew 6:29) But I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these flowers. Perhaps you are of little faith (Matthew 6:31) Therefore, he says, "Do not be anxious about what you will eat, what you will drink, or what you will wear."
2. Right relationship with humans
The gospel of Christ teaches us to build a good relationship with God above and our neighbors below. So when you look at the cross, you may not know if it is like a plus sign. A community of order that harmonizes well with God and human beings. When there is such a thing, true peace will come. Peace is what God wants most. The coming of Jesus was also the building of peace.
3. The cause of relationship destruction is sin.
Severing our relationship with God is a sin.
The severance of relationships with humans is due to problems caused by mutual interests.
you need to solve this
(Isa 59:1) The Lord's hand is not short, that it cannot save, nor his ear dull that it cannot hear (Isa 59:2) But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you. so that you will not hear
(Job 22:21) Be at peace with God, and good will come to you.
(Isa 1:18) Come, let us reason together, says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.” (Isaiah 1:19) If you are willing and obedient, the good of the earth. will eat
(1 John 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
4. Blessings come when you repent.
Salvation of the repentant thief
(Luke 23:42) He said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” (Luke 23:43) Jesus said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
5. Be a wise man for the apocalypse.
Life always dies
Everyone who is living knows how to die (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
(Hebrews 9:27) It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.
Those who prepare for death are always awake.
(Matthew 24:44) Therefore also be ready, for the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect (Matthew 25:13) Therefore, be on the lookout, for you do not know the day or the hour.
