Ecclesiastes 12:7

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Ecclesiastes 12:7. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Thus will it happen to us all unless Christ shall first come. The machinery of our being will stand still. The fountain of life will be dry; no longer will the living floods rush through their appointed courses as they used to do.

Please remember that we are not merely talking about people in the street, of whom we know nothing, but about ourselves also for we are mortal, so we must die. Let us believe this, and prepare for it.
