"Everything is meaningless, utterly meaningless." -Solomon
What is the meaning of life? Money, success, love, family, power, nothing? Solomon gave his testimony in the book of Ecclesiastes. He had lived it all, owned it all, and done it all. Yet, when he came to his conclusion in the last few verses of the book, he said that what we need to do is fear God and obey God. Why? Because God cares how we live our life. Solomon writes that God will hold us accountable for everything we do...good or bad...visible or hidden.
Salvation is a free gift, but the pursuit of holiness is hard work. Glorifying God in all we do is hard work. Obedience is hard work. Fear is hard work.
