Ecclesiastes

 

Ecclesiastes

It is probable that Solomon wrote this book. As the wisest, wealthiest, and most powerful man of his day, Solomon certainly had the opportunity and resources to do the things mentioned in Ecclesiastes.

Solomon seeks to find the answers to the question, “Is life worth living?” He concludes that life is worth living if you put God first and obey His Word.

When viewed apart from God, life is indeed “vanity, but when you live for Christ, life is never in “vain.”

Ecclesiastes is the ideal book for pessimism, cynicism, and skepticism of our times. It wrestles with the deepest struggles of the human soul in its attempt to find meaning and purpose in life. Solomon gives an honest view of life in a fallen world.

Solomon points out the irony that people want, even crave, understanding of realities, and yet they can never figure out life using their minds alone. The farther we drift from day-by-day, faith-walk with Christ, the more frustration and confusion we will experience. The only thing that will satisfy us to our very core is to reconnect with God who loves us and the Savior, who died for us. The good news is He is right at the door, knocking. (Revelations 3:20).

Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for Hope, The King James Bible and the Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Commentary.
