How We Choose Life? Deuteronomy 30:11-20

1st Question: What Will You Be Yoked to? Matthew 11:28-30
2nd Question: Will You Choose Life? Deuteronomy 30:11-20

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows this he will also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

1. We Confess Jesus as Lord Over Every Situation and Circumstance!
2. We Believe that God raised Jesus from the dead.

Romans 10:8 But what does it say? The word is near you in your mouth and in your heart, that is the word of faith we are preaching! 9 That if you confess with your mouth Jesus Lord and believe I your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness and with mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation! 17 Faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God!

From Deuteronomy 30:11-20 We Choose Life by

1. Loving the Lord Our God! Deuteronomy 6:4-7

• To Love God is to Enjoy God!
• To Love God is to Desire God!
• To Love God is to Honor Him!
• To Love God is to Follow Him!

Revelation 2:1-7 – The Church at Ephesus left her first Love!

2. Walking In His Ways! Psalm 103:

Psalm 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sos of Israel. 8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in Loving kindness!

The Acts of God:

• Pardons All Your Iniquities and Heals All Your Diseases
• Redeems Your life from the pit and Crowns you with Loving-kindness and Compassion
• Satisfies Your years with Good Things and Performs Righteous Deeds!

The Ways of God:

Exodus 34:5-7 The Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord the Lord God compassionate and gracious slow to anger and abounding in Lovingkindness and truth 7 who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin…..

• Compassionate : Merciful
• Gracious: To Show Favor, To Bend or stoop in kindness
• Slow to Anger: Long suffering, Patient,
• Abounding in Loving-kindness: Grace, Mercy, Favor, Covenant Love
• Truth: faithfulness, stability, reliable
• Keeps loving-kindness for thousands!
• Forgives: Action From Who We Are and How We Live

What does this Look Like? Luke 10: The Good Samaritan

3. Obeying His Voice
4. Holding Fast To Him!
