Joined to the living

This article by Thomas Miersma offers an expository meditation on Ecclesiastes 9:4, exploring Solomon's teaching about the contrast between life and death and its implications for how believers should live. The author examines the hope and daily confidence available to those joined to the living, while acknowledging death's sovereignty and the spiritual differences between the believer's and unbeliever's approach to earthly existence. Through careful biblical interpretation, Miersma shows how the doctrine of God's providence shapes Christian perspective on mortality and daily living under God's rule.
