The Choice of Life or Death:
From Deuteronomy chapter 30, starting in verse 11,
"For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off.
It is not in heaven that you should say, 'who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it? Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?
But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgements, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.
But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.
I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
Deuteronomy 30:11-20
As the Bible says, it is NOT a big mystery. I felt I should correct myself from before if I suggested such. The Word of God makes it clear and we can believe it and receive it or not. The choice is always ours. But as I write this, I am pleading with those who may actually take the time to read and listen to what the Lord is saying here. I have set before you LIFE (the truth, the way) and DEATH, blessing and cursing; therefore choose LIFE! Choose the Blessing!
JUST DO IT! Choose the Way that leads to Life.
Jesus, the Messiah, the One who came from heaven to show us the Way. His offer still stands. While there is breath there is HOPE.
The mystery of God is NOT a mystery at all!
