The Purpose of Life - Ecclesiastes 12:13

"Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." This statement is the final conclusion to all the observations of life that the Preacher has considered and discussed in Ecclesiastes. He sums up all that he has noted by concluding that the whole purpose of human beings, what makes them happy and fulfilled, and what they were created for, is to have faith in God and live their lives in the way He has commanded, which would be an expression of their faith in Him. When we read and study the Bible and live our lives accordingly, we are fulfilling the purpose for which God has created us.
