Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Our duty is to FEAR GOD and KEEP GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
Fear God- Read ALL of the following verses and note the wrath of God. We need to note it, because our God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. This God of wrath did NOT disappear. This God of wrath did not hand the reins over to another God, the God who became flesh and dwelt among us. They share the reins- they always have and they always will in whatever capacity they exist in. Jesus did NOT have flesh before He was born on earth, but He existed from everlasting to everlasting, He was God with God. Just as I could say that I am a human with human when I am talking about my husband. There are two of us. Jesus was there as God with God during the entire time of the Old Testament. Right up until He took on flesh.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men
He TOOK upon himself the form of a servant. He CHOSE to became flesh, to be made in the likeness of men! He was God with God and He emptied Himself of that state of existence and took on FLESH.
Php_2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men (RV)
So when we read about the wrath of God in the Old Testament we HAVE to realize that Jesus, as God with God was THERE the entire time and in full agreement with ALL that was done! When He took on flesh, God with God became Immanuel- God with us. God with God became the ONLY begotten Son of the Father. He became subject to obeying all that He, as God with God, agreed was the whole duty of man. He became dependent upon God who was now His Father in Heaven, knowing that all that was required of Him, all the obedience, to Love God, and to Love His fellow man was just and good. By HIS grace may we comprehend all that we need to.
Please read all the following verses with the comprehension that Jesus, as God with God, before He took on flesh was right there in agreement with every single word uttered, every action undertaken. They weren't in heaven fighting against one another. Jesus did not take on flesh to prove the Father God in the wrong, not in a single thing! We have to STOP fooling ourselves, we have to! If we get caught up in fooling ourselves then we are lost, so full of delusions, so full of lies that we will remain blind right up to the point we hear our Savior tell us to get away from Him because He never knew us. God forbid that happen to us! God forbid!

When we read these words-

Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
-we have to believe them!
Every secret thing, whether GOOD or EVIL will be known to God. Our every action. There isn't any other reason for us to need to fall to our knees daily seeking the forgiveness of our God, clinging to HIS righteousness, all through His grace and mercy! Just knowing that our every action is subject to God, and knowing how far we fall short of what we know we should be as we seek to Fear God and keep His commandments, this alone should compel us to seek an ever closer walk with our Savior. Satan would have us despair, telling us it is all impossible, but we know that with Christ, nothing is impossible and it will be Christ's righteousness which saves us.
Please Lord help us to be YOURs to FEAR YOU as we need to in reverence and true fear, help us to keep Your commandments, commandments you gave to us out of LOVE for us.
In Your LOVE Always! All glory, all praise, all honor unto You our God, our High Priest, our King!
Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
