Many today struggle with how to live for God in this generation. And often people question how to go about pleasing God and living an upright life. I have heard many people say that it is just hard to live right today. But actually when we completely surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, it is not difficult. He equips us to serve Him and frees us from the bondages and captivities that once held us in a state of imprisonment.
Serving God and following His ways begins with a decision. Scripture concisely records, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, For this is man's all. For God will bring every good work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil." (Eccles. 12:13-14)
Simply spoken the Word says - here is your answer, this sums it all up. This is the whole duty of man: 1) Fear God and 2) Keep His commandments. If we pursue God and press with all our hearts to please God with the way we handle our decisions and actions in life, then we will maintain a godly fear of Almighty God. This in turn will kindle a burning and compelling desire to obey the commands of God that are laid out in Scripture.
One day our works will be judged, including every secret thing, both good and evil. And one day God will step out on a cloud and call His remnant of people home. The remnant will be a people who fear God and keep His commands. Make a decision today to follow hard after God and be ready for eternity.
