The greatest vanity! Everything is vanity! (Ecclesiastes 1:2)
The introduction of sin into the world has dramatically changed the human condition. Through the sin, the death spread into the world: “That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned” (Romans 5:12). This programmed death, from the conception and later the birth, makes the existence of man just as futile as that of an animal which ends up dying: “I also said in my heart about the sons of men that the true God will test them and show them that they are like animals, for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals; they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust” (Ecclesiastes 3:18–20).
The book of Ecclesiastes very well and fully, describes the uselessness of human life, under the law of sin, which inexorably leads to death:“The greatest vanity!” the congregator has said, “the greatest vanity! Everything is vanity!” (Ecclesiastes 1:2). The sin has considerably complicated the human condition: “That which is made crooked cannot be made straight, and that which is wanting cannot possibly be counted” (Ecclesiastes 1:15). Because of this law of sin, human life has taken completely absurd turns: “Everything I have seen during my vain days. There exists the righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there exists the wicked one continuing long in his badness. (…) There exists a vanity that is carried out on the earth, that there exist righteous ones to whom it is happening as if for the work of the wicked ones, and there exist wicked ones to whom it is happening as if for the work of the righteous ones. I said that this too is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 7:15; 8:14)
In the conclusion of this biblical book, which makes a realistic description of the human condition under the yoke of sin, it is written that the best outcome, is to have a spiritual life based on good relations with our Creator: “The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man. For the true God himself will bring every sort of work into the judgment in relation to every hidden thing, as to whether it is good or bad” (Ecclesiastes 12:13,14).
