When we make Jesus Christ Lord of our life, we are suppose to be choosing Life over death; blessing over cursing!
But are we?
The next verse says:
"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 30:20 NKJV)
Do we do that?
We say we love Him; but do we obey Him?
Do we "cling" to Him?
How can we, when we are still clinging onto the world with white knuckles?
We are supposed to be choosing Life, but is He our life?
Our lives are so busy we don't even try to make time for a relationship with Him!
Too busy for God! (smh)
We are not in The Promised Land, because we obviously love the "wilderness of sin"! (Numbers 33:11)
We are told (by our denominations) we are to "claim" The Blessings of God, by quoting the scripture; because there is power in our words!
"Choosing life" requires more than saying words! It requires a change of heart! It requires repentance! It is a choice, to turn from your wicked ways; to change your way of life!
"You are not what you do, but what you want to do!"
"Deal with the attitude of the heart as though it were the act!"
Paris Reidhead
You do not come to Jesus and stay the same!
You have to give up your old life, for a new life in Him!
You have come to the end of yourself - to find Him!
You must realize that you need a Savior - to be saved!
Whatever you WANT to DO, you will do! You must want Him more than anything else in your life!
Repent while there is still time.
Without repentance there is no salvation!
Even so - MARANATHA!
