Eccles. 9:2-3
2 It is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, [1] to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the sinner, and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath. 3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
- In Solomon's day, what was considered the reward for righteous living?
- What was Solomon's prior conclusion as to length of life for the wicked and the righteous?
- Prior to the coming of Christ, what hope did the righteous have?
- What is the outcome for all people who live under the sun?
- Why will some people spend far more money than they have to live another 6 mo to 1 yr?
- If all die and that is it, what motivation is there to do what is right?
- If long life were the sole reward for righteous living, how righteously would you live?
- How did the coming of Christ change the situation described here?
- What new hope was available?
- What bondage did death have on mankind?
- How did the new hope, freedom, and reward help the heart?
