According to the conclusions, what is God's intention for man regarding the fruits of his labor?

• A. To enjoy the fruits of his labor
• B. To toil endlessly
• C. To accumulate wealth without joy
• D. To fear God

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that God provides a beneficial result from the work people do: He intends that they enjoy the fruit of their labor. In the wisdom literature, especially in passages like Ecclesiastes, the text highlights that part of living rightly before God is recognizing His gifts and enjoying the good that comes from one’s work, as a gift from Him. This is why the option that says to enjoy the fruits of one’s labor is the best fit.

Toil endlessly misses the point of God’s provision, which includes enjoying what work yields. Accumulating wealth without joy likewise fails to reflect the gift-of-God perspective, which emphasizes enjoying what He gives. While fear of God is an essential posture in this literature, it doesn’t specifically describe the intended outcome of labor itself. So the choice that ties the labor’s outcome to enjoyment aligns best with the tested material.
