Deut: 30:15-19: See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 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.
I am greatly emphasizing this passage of scripture because it pretty much establishes how God deals with us and what He thinks is important.
Many today believe that because of what Jesus has done for mankind; God no longer demands this of us. Some believe that pretty much what God wants is for us to love and accept each other. I believe the Bible. I believe the above scripture pretty much says it. You may be thinking, how can you say that? I answer with a question--does the New Testament say, God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever? Heb: 13:8
Does the New Testament teach that all scripture is God breathed and profitable for doctrine, reproof correction, and instruction in righteousness? 1Tim: 3:16
Did Jesus say, those who obey God are His brothers and sisters? Matt: 12:50
Is obeying God, loving and accepting others in modern understanding or is obeying God obeying the scriptures?
Jas: 1:21-22 says: Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Jesus quoted Deut: 8:3 in Matt. 4:4: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Based upon what I’ve shared here, I beg you to receive the engrafted word and live by it.
