Ecclesiastes 9:2

"It is the same for all. There is one fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean, and for the unclean; for the man who offers. sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good man is, so is the sinner; as the swearer is, so is the one who is afraid to swear"."It is the same for all. There is one fate for…." -The one fate that comes to all, regardless of their conduct or character is death (Ecclesiastes 2:14; Ecclesiastes 3:19; Ecclesiastes 9:3). In addition, in the context good and harm also come to all men. All people of every kind meet with circumstances of every sort. Speaking generally, there is no discrimination, in the distribution of evil and good. Sun and shade, calm and storm, fruit and unfruitful seasons, joy and sorrow-come to all classes alike. "No one escapes. Both good and bad experience the same variations, and that no man knows what the future holds and all men are caught up in the interplay of life's struggles" (Kidwell p. 226).

Point To Note:

Here is the vanity and futility of the person who is trying to avoid difficulty and hardship at all cost. Even people who are willing to morally compromise, sacrifice their integrity, and sacrifice other people for their own comfort-will suffer in this life! No lifestyle is void of suffering and hardship. Being. Christian might not always be easy, but neither it is really any easier to live the life of the non-Christian.
