Life is all about making choices. That is how character is formed. We have the right to choose to be blessed by our Creator or to choose to be cursed. He gave us that right. He wants us to choose.
"Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day; And a curse if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known." ~ Deuteronomy 11: 26-28 ~
"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."
~ Deuteronomy 30: 19 ~
"O, that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!"
~ Deuteronomy 5: 28, 29 ~
"If ye keep my commandments ye shall abide in my love even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love." ~ John 15: 10 ~
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. ~ 1 John 3: 22 ~
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
~ John 14: 21 ~
