Death is our most fearsome enemy, Yet Solomon tells us we live wisely if we keep it in view. This is because death-consciousness:
--Leads to valuing the good things in life
---Prevents us from arrogantly striving to achieve immortality
In Christ, we have more than Solomon had: assurance of resurrection after death.
