Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. Ecclesiastes 12:13 NIV
It does not matter what you think you know; it does matter what you do with the Truth found only in God. There are various versions of 'truths' as defined by the world, but only one version is the Truth, to the exclusion of all others. In this world, you will hear, see and experience many things, but the final destination will be determined by what you do with the 'Truth'. Do you know this Truth?
After all has been said and done, this is the conclusion: I must fear God and keep his commandments. I have to understand that God is supreme and over all, and he is the righteous judge, who will judge all men according to the real version of Truth, not the various models that man has established. Fear and obedience are interwoven into one piece, and you can never separate one from the other. When I fear God, I will be quick to obey him. When I lose my awe of him, his words make no impact on my heart.
Indeed, the whole essence of my creation is to give God glory. I was made in his image, so that my life would reflect his glory and virtue. If I do not act true to that nature, I give the wrong impression about who God is. When I do not obey the one o look like, then, I give the world the impression that I do not know who I belong to.
Whoever you are, whatever you are doing, pause for a moment and ask yourself: "Am I living true to my identity and ownership?". " Do I know who and whose I am". Your answer according to the only version of Truth that matters will define both your earthly impact and your eternal destination. His time of favour is here.
