“The Witness of Heaven and Earth”

“The Witness of Heaven and Earth”

Blessings folk!

The Lord God was setting before His people a choice.
Blessings
Or
Curses

We have seen the benefit of choosing blessings.

What if they rejected the Lord?

Reread the first two verses, then press on to see what the Lord says…

Deu 30:15-20

“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.

“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.

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today,
that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse.
So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,

by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him;
for this is your life and the length of your days,
that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers,
to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

If they…

  • Turn their hearts away from God
  • Do not obey God
  • Are drawn away and worship and serve other gods (remember, these gods are real)

Then, the Lord declares…
  • They would perish
  • They would not have prolonged days in the land
  • He would call heaven and earth as a witness against them

If they chose life, then they and their descendants would prosper
  • By loving the Lord God
  • By obeying HIs voice
  • By holding fast to Him

This is how they were to live.

Choosing the Lord.
Clinging to Him.

We are to do likewise through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Do we?
