Ecclesiastes 12:13 Now all has been heard;

    here is the conclusion of the matter:

Fear God and keep his commandments,

    for this is the duty of all mankind.

14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,

    including every hidden thing,

    whether it is good or evil.

The conclusion is as I have been saying. Live to please God non the world. Because God will be the only judge of our lives when we stand before Him in heaven. There is nothing we can hide from Him. Good or evil He know it all. So live for good.

Psalm49:7 No one can redeem the life of another

    or give to God a ransom for them—

8 the ransom for a life is costly,

    no payment is ever enough—

9 so that they should live on forever

    and not see decay.

10 For all can see that the wise die,

    that the foolish and the senseless also perish,

    leaving their wealth to others.

Psalm 49:15 But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;

    he will surely take me to himself.

16 Do not be overawed when others grow rich,

    when the splendor of their houses increases;

17 for they will take nothing with them when they die,

    their splendor will not descend with them.

18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—

    and people praise you when you prosper—

19 they will join those who have gone before them,

    who will never again see the light of life.

20 People who have wealth but lack understanding

    are like the beasts that perish.

We can't escape the end of this life. Everyone on this earth will die, good and bad, wise and foolish, and each will face their eternity. Either eternity with God or separated from Him. Everyone will face judgement. A review of their life and the things of this world like fame and riches will not matter and anything we have accumulated in life will no longer be ours but someone else's. Those who give their lives to Christ and live for Him will be redeemed from the realm of the dead. Those who live for the meaningless things for this world and put their faith in things will forever be separated from the glorious light of God and live eternity in darkness.
