I'm angry. Why would God say our works are vanity! Grace Au

God did not say this sweetie, it's Solomon speaking here.

Only what we've done for Christ will matter in the end anyway so don't get caught up in what this world has to offer. Store up all of your treasures in heaven not on earth where they can rot and decay and where thieves can break in and steal. People are busy preparing for this life but they're not preparing for the life to come. Be encouraged and get your house in order. Jesus is coming soon!!!

Grace Au on Ecclesiasties 3 - Why would you be angry? Remember that this book is showing the vanity of life. Our works after salvation by Grace Ephesians 2:8 9 , are for the Lord and we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God hath before ordained that we would walk in them Ephesians 2:10 . These are not vanity if we do them for the Lord with the right motive.

Our sports alone is a clear sign this country encourages idolizing to the furthest degree otherwise we would just watch the game and no one would ever be paid to play or watch bc that is how you treat ideas and actions that never progress anyone forward nothing but entertainment comes out of sports. No one is saved, no one receives wisdom, everyone gets rich or is overly excited over what???

This discussion has moved from being angry for what God says about our works, to what man is doing. Ecclesiastes is written to show the vanity in our lost estate. Before we are born again, everything we do is vanity. We have NO spiritual interest, purpose, or desire to honor God ,(nor can we - that is wrought by the Holy spirit). If we don't have the Holy Spirit, we are none of His. Rom 8:9.
We honor ourselves, and want no part with God.
Not in sports only, but in business, schools, government (at all levels), and everything. God is speaking about the lost man...
As I stated, when we are in Christ, God will bless our works if done to honor Him.

Correcto!
