The Duty of Humanity

Every day we wake up and do what we do to earn a living. In the evening we as usual are tired and retire to bed. That is the routine. But sometimes I think you wonder really what our duty on this planet is!

You see, after all the toiling, the next thing is death. Then what is the meaning of all the toiling if any time we can leave this planet? Is it worth it?

Because of many questions as to why it is so, I turned to the Bible to understand what humanity has been assigned to do on this planet.

Ecclesiastes 12 verse 1 says “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say ‘I find no pleasure in them’.

In other ways, while you are young, remember that you have a creator to  Whom you have a duty .But what is that duty?

Verse 13 of the same chapter says ‘The whole duty of man is to FEAR GOD and keep His commandments’. Remember, whatever you are going to do today, you have a duty to God, Fear Him, the One who created heaven and earth.

You fear Him by doing everything to His Glory. Show acts of love to people around you. Be nice to your workmates. Give out peace, love ,hope, joy and happiness to the people that surround you. Live for Christ and you will thereby keep the commandments of God, the whole duty of man.
