Man has a duty, and that is to fear God and keep His commandments; his is the whole duty of man. (Ecclesiates 12:13)
A wise man will hear will increase learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
The Book of Ecclesiates concludes with two reasons for fearing God and keeping His commandents: one, it is our duty; and two, the Lord will hold us accountable for every good, evil, and secret deed performed.
In neither case is it guaranteed that life for thefaithful will be hardship or opposition.
Christians must live their lives according to God’s divine standard and example – Jesus Christ.
Someone asked, What must one do to find happiness in life?
The Word implore us to live a life worthy of the calling you have received from God.
I encourage each of you as followers of God to rise up to his calling for such a time as this. We are called to be not just believers, but doers of the Word. Not just disciples, but apostles of fath.
This is not just a call to action, but a call to spiritual arms. Gird ourselves with the word of God. Let our light shine.
