Whole Duty Of Man

Posted by Edwin Joseph in God's Message Today on 10 24th, 2009 | Comments

I assume that you are very familiar with the bestselling book, “Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren. This book occupied a lot of space in bookstores worldwide because people desperately want to know the purpose of their life. People are confused as to why they are born. Why do people need to come to birth then die in the end? Even famous and successful people around the world can’t answer the question, “what’s your life’s purpose?“

It is a sad truth that we already asked all the people about this and yet we forget to ask God (our creator)! And for some who started asking God, they tend to play deaf and not listen to what God is saying. Did you even try seeking God regarding your life’s purpose?

———————————————————-

Ecclesiastes 12:13 (New International Version)

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.
———————————————————-

The book of Ecclesiastes talked about our purpose very clearly. Though it says that we can live our lives to the fullest, to the way we want it to be, but in the end it concludes that we still need to fear God and keep His commandments because it is the whole duty of man. As a christian I can directly say this to you that your goal in life should not to make yourself known and popular. Rather, it is to make God known based on how your live your life. Your life needs to serve its purpose!

Daily Devotion Conclusion:

Live a life setting good examples to the world. Fear God in every way and keep His commandments as you live your life daily. Pursue holiness and not sin. Check your life and remind yourself that your actions should always glorify God. Always remember that your main purpose is to follow God’s plan and not yours!

You can try reading a lot of self help books to know your purpose. In the end, I’m quite sure you will end up reading the bible because it is the only book who can tell you about your purpose.
