Ecclesiastes 9 v 1 - 9
"For whoever is joined with all the living, there is hope"

One thing is certain… the same fate awaits us all, that is, if Christ has not yet returned for His church, we shall all taste death in this life time.

Needless to say – life is unpredictable and we should live each day as if it is our last. What purpose does life serve is we simply “toil” to accumulate wealth and not enjoy the pleasures God has granted us.

Whether believers or non-believers, religious or “righteous”, no one is exempt from this fate. The difference lies in the fact that if you believe Jesus to be God incarnate – in the form of His Son – that He died for our sins and above all, rose from the dead, there is hope in living (and dying).

Enjoy this life God has given you with all its blessings. Rejoice for there is life after death. Something the Old Testament believers only vaguely understood. May God “approve your works”, while you work out your salvation in fear and trembling.
