Discuss Ecclesiastes 12 Page 5

Establish Faith in our Creator from an early age. When we see,with wonder and amazement, the world that He has created for us.The sands of time inevitably roll on and we are ground and battered, bruised until 1 day, we return to sand. Praise God and trust that He will ease those days and grant us Peace in His heaven when that day ultimately arrives. Until then? Live Life to it's fullness with God

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (

Eccl 12 reminds us that one day we will get old

I like this very much. Very simple and encouraging.

Jehovah God created humans to give him worship and keep his commandments.

The whole duty of is keep and follow His commandant's which is His word. Anything else is vain and a waste of time. Take advantage of Grace and strength by seeking Him early when faculties is clear and Spirit is high. We must study to show thyself approved Amen???

It good I like it god bless

Verse 10~Solomon wanted the people to benefit so he took time to find careful words that were accurate and true. We should also weigh our words and consider what we will say before we say it.

Verse 2~ Solomon likens the days of youth to the Palestinian summer where everything shines bright. Youth is truly a precious time where one can accomplish many things. We want to use youth wisely.

Verse 13: Fear God, keep his commandments ( Exodus 20) for they will never be altered ( Psalms 89:34), have faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth ( John 3:18)

Keep the commandments of God and Faith of Jesus ( Rev 14:13), for the time is at hand ( Rev 1:3).

"Servant of God" back up to verse 9. Rest used in verse 9 is from the Greek word 'sabbatismos' which means a sabbath rest. To the people of God there still remains a Sabbath. Stoning was under Moses law which Jesus fulfilled Luke 24:44. God commanded his 10 commandments Exo 20), added no more to them (deu 5:22) and will never alter what he himself spoke ( psalms 89:34). See also, Ecclesiastes 12:13

"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them...Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." The Summoner has filled this book with questions and searching out by wisdom the purpose of life; for the end of all this vanity is death.

@ a disciple thanks so much for that summary! I don't want my labor to be in vain!

Verse 13: In order to live we must have a reverential fear of Jehovah God and keep his commandments.

Ren; if you read 1 Samuel 28, particularly verse 13, you might better understand what happens when we die. Compare with Ecclesiastes 3:21 "Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth?" and, Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." See also Ezekiel 32.

This is the whole duty of man fear God and keep his commandments

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

- Ecclesiastes 12:13

We should have a deep respect or fear of Jehovah God and keep his commandments. This is the whole obligation of humans.

In this wonderful Book called, The Preacher, is laid out very many aspects of this present existence, and how they are used knowingly or unknowingly to distract man who is made in the image of God from seeking out the eternal meaning of his having been created thus and in many cases, worse, uses them falsely to deny the very God and Saviour, who he is supposed to replicate in character, in conduct, in faith, hope and love in holiness and the Spirit of Truth. The powerful conclusion "of the whole matter," is what we must hear and receive and learn from Jesus to do, with all our hearts, and without hypocrisy. For if after all our lifetime is spent, and we have only our own basket of potatoes and carrots, but no honest accounting of our souls in light of Christ being sent to redeem us then will we have worked for nothing, and all our love, and hate, and envy, and toil, will be turned to smoke and ashes, and remembered no more we ourselves having never stood in the truth, will have no place, and never be fit for the presence of God in eternity. But the Word is written to us as to children, so that we may do them and be blessed. This is the will of God for all men that we might be saved, all thanks and glory and praise to our wonderful Father God, and the Son of God our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

'all mans duty is to serve GOD'

Let us Hear the conclusion of the whole matter FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN. Amen thanks to the blood of Jesus. Help me Jesus to be born again in Spirit all the days of my life. I will praise you and worship you alone for you are worthy to be praise

Oh Carol; that the Lord could reach the youth before they joined gangs, committed felonies, got DUI's, etc. Keep them lifted up in prayer ............

remember the lord while still a youth...

V. 13 - It is so simple, easy to live for God. We make it hard in our minds before coming to Him ( Acts 2:38) by looking at the worldly 'things' we have to give up; immodest dress, jewelry, make-up, tobacco, alcohol, cursing, our party wk'ends ( Heb. 10:25). None, NONE of this goes with us after death; it's all vanity. Matt. 6:23 - Seek ye first .....

"ALL scripture is given by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction, for instruction in righteousness. ( 2 Tim. 2:3:16)

good

Verse 7. The believer. This first death that all of us die is Temporary. Body=flesh

I think it is the whole bible in one . All things is in this book. All other books are useless.

Psalms 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go unto one place all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 2 Corinthians 7:15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
