‘Just As We Come We Also Go.’
Ecclesiastes 5:15-16.
a) Job 1:21. Just as we came naked
from our mother’s womb we will go naked also.

out labour.

hands.
d) This is a fact of life that is:-
1- Grievous.
2- Severe.
3- Evil.
e) Just exactly as we came we shall
go.

(This QT challenged my thinking this evening:
Just As I Come I Also Go)

realise that Faith without Works was useless.

(Through this Second one I fully understand and want to learn right and
positive things from the fact that They Were Foolish)
Chris.
It is foolish to live only for gain and profit. There are many people in
the World system doing that right now. They have no thought of God, He has no
priority in their lives at all. After these people die they certainly cannot
take any of their riches with them. If God has Blessed someone to make gain and
profit in a real way by just means then that person needs to consider how to
use for the best what God has allowed them to have.
