The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. Ecclesiastes 12:13
Solomon spent the entire book of Ecclesiastes highlighting the vanity of life. Looking at everything we think is important and always with us, and then showing us that all that lust is in vain. Everything we have in life will soon fade away and the only thing left will be the spirit that came from God. Since that spirit belongs to God it will return to Him who gave it to us. After picturing it all leaving, including our lives, he comes to the one and only conclusion. The only thing that lasts is fearing God and keeping His commandments. Solomon had 700 wives, 300 concubines, and more riches than he could count. At the end of life, I think He was wishing he would have reached that conclusion much earlier. Do we need to starting thinking differently too?
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
