TWO SIDES OF A COIN



 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man”
- Ecclesiastes 12:13

The summary of man’s duty is:

  1.    Fear God
  2.  Keep His Commandment       

We are going to establish in simple terms what this really means. Remember the bible says in John 14:15- If you love me, keep my commandments. So we can accept that keeping God’s commandment is relative to loving him.

So the conclusion of the whole matter is: fear God and Love him. FEAR|LOVE.
These are two sides of a coin. They are inseparable. You cannot fear God and not love him; also you cannot love God and not fear him. They go hands in hands.

Fear in this context refers to reverence and respect. In as much as we say we love God, our love is not complete until we do his commandments and fear him.
Let us not slack in our duty as we continue in our race.

God bless you!
