(Deuteronomy 30:19, NIV)

1) In order to choose life, I must

“See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity; in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.” (Deuteronomy 30:15–16, NASB95)

“So keep the words of this covenant to do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.” (Deuteronomy 29:9, NASB95)

Choosing life means choosing to enter into God’s Covenant and to abide by his principles.

“He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.” (1 John 5:12, NASB95)

“But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.” (Deuteronomy 30:17–18, NASB95)

How do I reject false gods?

“by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him.” (Deuteronomy 30:20, NASB95)

3) If I choose life, my family and I will be

“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19, NIV)
