Choose life

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

There are not many things more diametrically opposed as death and life. You cannot be both dead and alive at the same time. The applies to physical life and death and spiritual life and death.

Moses told the people they had a choice between life and death. God paid it out there and told then to choose life so that they and their people could continue on.

In a similar way we too have the choice of life and death. First we have the choice of life or death when it comes to salvation. That's a clear cut choice. God offers eternal life through the gift of Jesus on the cross. Accept that gift and choose eternal life or reject the gift and choose eternal death.

But every day we have a choice. We face decisions every day where we choose the way of life in Christ or we choose the way of the world’s death. The choice makes all the difference in the world because by our choices we point others to life or death.

Many of us have already chose eternal life, now may our daily choices reflect that choice. May we choose the way of life in all our decisions.
