The meaning of life is summed up in Ecclesiastes 12:13: The conclusion, when all has been heard, [is:] fear God and keep His commandments, because this [applies to] every person. (New American Standard Bible) After all this, there is only one thing to say: Have reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that we were created for. (Today's English Version) |

Hi kalos, I have been considering writing about the two times in the NASB that Life is capitalized as mrchadly does in his question. I think that your Ecclesiastes reference is a good comparison to one of the places where Life is capitalized, Acts 5:20. "Go your way, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life." Ecclesiastes 12:10, "The Preacher sought to find delightful words and to write words of truth correctly. The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd." The conclusion for the Acts passage is "We must obey God rather than men." The reverance for God comes when we realize the power of this Man's blood. |
