_TOPIC:_ *The Truth Shall Set You Free.*
_TEXT:_ Ecclesiastes 12 : 13
*Our text above says:* Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. One of the reasons why we should fear God is because a time is coming, when God shall bring every work into judgement, including every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
*1 Timothy 5 : 24 - 25 says: Some* men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

That is the reason why *Apostle Paul says in Philippians 2 : 12* Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
*And also in 1 Corinthians 9 : 26 - 27 He said:* I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. Anybody can be a castaway in this narrow way to heaven if care is not taken, because God is not a respecter of any persons. Whether pastor, evangelist, prophet, prophetess, bishop, apostle, teacher, elder, deacon or church members.
*Malachi 1 : 6 says:* A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. ...
