Words from Ecclesiastes

Words from Ecclesiastes

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun...
“I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
Ecclesiastes 1:9,14
Looking at the above verses from Ecclesiastes he seems to sum up the plight of man at least from the prospective of some atheists I’ve spoken to.
They have a simple outlook on life, you’re born, you live your life, you die. All that matters is what is done in this life. Whether you live it to the full or simply exist is it up to you.  After death there is only oblivion.
I can’t buy into that. The writer of Ecclesiastes ends his book by saying,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole  duty  of man. 
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.”
Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
We do have a choice in this world as to what we do. We can put our faith in God and in the redeeming grace of His one and Only Son Jesus Christ or we can choose to reject his offer and turn from God.
I as a Christian have nothing to fear from living a life for Christ at it’s best it is an honourable, moral lifestyle that can be lived to the full. At the end of which I enter into an eternity with God.
For someone who does not believe however they are rolling the dice with regards to how they will spend eternity.
Are you willing to roll that dice?
Think about it.
