“Your Choice: Blessing Or Curse!”
Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the LORD your God and turn away from Him and worship gods you have not known before. Deuteronomy 11:26-28
This is a WARNING from Moses to the Nation of Israel, concerning their OBEDIENCE to the COMMANDS of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. And this WARNING is SO applicable to the ETERNAL DESTINY of MANKIND, today. The LORD GOD, has provided for mankind to receive His BLESSINGS through His ABUNDANT MERCY and His AMAZING GRACE, made possible through the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Only Son, and the ONLY ONE who can keep us AWAY from the AWFUL CURSE, because of mankind’s DISOBEDIENCE to GOD’S COMMANDS.
The Apostle Paul tells us: “So now there is NO condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to Him the power of the LIFE-GIVING Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to DEATH” (spiritual death). (Rom. 8:1) “God did what the law could NOT do. He sent His ONLY SON in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an END to sin’s CONTROL over us by GIVING His Son as a SACRIFICE for our sins.” (V3b) ‘So letting your sinful nature CONTROL your mind leads to death. BUT letting the SPIRIT control your mind leads to LIFE and PEACE. For the SINFUL NATURE is ALWAYS HOSTILE to God. It NEVER did OBEY God’s Laws, and it NEVER will. That’s why those who are STILL under the CONTROL of their SINFUL NATURE can NEVER please God.” (Vv6-8). But those who are NOT CONTROLLED by their SINFUL NATURE are CONTROLLED by the Spirit if they have the Spirit of God living in them. It is the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD that GIVES you an ETERNAL SPIRITUAL LIFE, even though this body will DIE, you will have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, because you have been made RIGHT with the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.
However, for those who REJECT the COMMAND of God, to TURN AWAY FROM their sinful life-style and to TURN to GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and who TURN AWAY from God to FOLLOW other gods, they will receive the CURSE of spending an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there. If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, through His Son JESUS CHRIST, you have the opportunity NOW to make a CHOICE, that will determine your ETERNAL DESTINY. Will it be a CURSE or a BLESSING. In order to receive the BLESSING, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFE-STYLE, and TURN to GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. Then you MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and receive the BLESSING and NOT the CURSE. So, do this NOW, while you STILL can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!! Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
