Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
In regard to the duties of man according to Ecclesiastes 12:13:
1. Proverbs 8:13 says, "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil:" An excellent measurement, determining if we fear God, is just how much do we hate evil.
2. Matthew 22:36-40 says, "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Keeping God's commandments deals with, loving God and our neighbor as ourselves. To many people's dismay, love will be the measurement.
Let's ask ourselves how we are doing in this regard? Do we hate evil, thus fearing God? Are we full of love for God and others?
