Summer in the Sun

Ecclesiastes chapter 3

For everything there is a season.  God has made everything beautiful for its own time.  What is happening now has happened before, and what will happen in the future has happened before.  In due season God will judge everyone, both good and bad, for all their deeds.  We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty-handed as on the day we were born.

When John D. Rockefeller died someone asked how much he left behind, his accountant wisely replied..."He left it all." We brought nothing with us when we came into the world and we take nothing with us when we leave.

King Solomon came to this conclusion at the end of his life:  "Fear God and obey His commands, for this is everyone's duty.  God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad."  That being the case we should consider our life and what we are doing with it.

Because of the sin of Adam and Eve all men are born with a sin-nature.  We are in need of a Savior to satisfy the righteous judgment of God.  God loved His creation so much that He came Himself in the person of Yeshua (Jesus).  Jesus paid the ultimate price, His death.  Scripture says that God "made Him to be sin for us, so that we might be made the righteousness of God through Him." 

The necessary action we must take is to believe that truth and receive Yeshua as our personal Lord and Savior, then through the blood that Jesus shed we are cleansed of all sin and made a new creation.

Have you taken that step?  Consider it...
