In the End, What Really Matters?

Work, money, pleasure, and success make terrible idols. Life is fragile, and none of them will matter at the end. This tract asks a reader whether they'd be ready.

In the End, What Really Matters? is a tract by Matthew Allen on the brevity of life and what lasts beyond it. It challenges readers to orient their lives around God.

Why Hand Out This Tract

Busy people rarely stop to ask whether they're ready for eternity. This tract reminds them that life is uncertain and that wealth, knowledge, and career success won't matter at death. Drawing on Ecclesiastes and Jesus' parable of the rich fool, it shows that what matters is a relationship with God shown in loving obedience.

What It Covers

• Life is uncertain: time and chance happen to all (Ecclesiastes 9:11-12)
• What won't matter: possessions, secular knowledge, and how hard you worked
• What does matter: a life lived with God (Luke 12:15-21; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
• Orient your life around God: glorifying Him and keeping His commandments (John 14:15)

Ways to Use It

It's a fitting tract for funerals and memorial services, New Year's outreach, and workplaces. Leave it with a friend who's consumed by work, or include it in your tract rack and visitor packets.
