Ecclesiastes III
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecclesiastes 12:13 ESV)
The Guy
It is important to know who the key individual is in most situations. In politics, it might be the person who can gain you the most votes. In sports, it might be the person with the most skill. In a family, it might be the father. In a business it might be the manager.
In the universe, it is God.
The only way to safely, successfully, and meaningfully live life is to have a particular relationship with God. Everyone has a relationship with God, of course. Whether they believe in Him or not. But without the relationship that comes through Christ Jesus, your relationship with God is a dangerous one, one wrought with failure, and an empty one.
There are a number of ways to describe that right kind of relationship with God. Here, the verse says that the way to have the right kind of relationship with God comes from fearing Him, and obeying Him. But those choices and actions only can happen through the Messiah, Jesus.
He points out Himself, “I am the way, the truth, and the life!” (John 14:6 ESV)
God IS the most important individual in the universe. And the way to HIM is Jesus.
