Bottom line
There’s a few times in scripture that simply deliver a bottom line. I’m going to try to give you some basic things here for life.
Job 11:13-20 “If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer! Get rid of all your sins, and leave iniquity behind you. Then your face will brighten with innocence. You will be strong and free of fear. You will forget your misery; it will be like water flowing away. Your life will be brighter than the noonday. Even darkness will be as bright as morning. Having hope will give you courage. You will be protected and will rest in safety. You will lie down unafraid, and many will look to you for help. But the wicked will be blinded. They will have no escape. Their only hope is death.”
God wants you to seek him and follow his ways.
1 Peter 1:14-16 “So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the scriptures say, ‘You must be holy because I Am holy.’”
Holiness that’s what we’re called to be. We have to be vigilant about it as well.
So to bottom line all of this King Solomon said it well.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 “That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing whether good or bad.”
