Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV
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 thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
Deuteronomy 30:20 KJV
Do we do that?
We say we love Him; but do we obey Him?
Do we cleave 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 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!
Repent while there is still time!
Without repentance there is no salvation!
Even so - MARANATHA!
