that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." – Deuteronomy 30v20
Yesterday we examined the choice of life over death. The next verse tells us how to choose life over death and good over evil.
Remember what Jesus said to Thomas and the disciples? ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ We all know that our physical life is nothing but a wisp that is here for just an instant, then gone forever. 70. 80, 100 years and then it is all over. Our life must therefore be much more than just this physical life.
So here we read that as Jesus said He is indeed our life. Everyday in many situations we have a choice to make. Are we going to choose what makes sense for our physical life, or are we going to choose what please Him who is our true Life.
This means even more for us as Christians. When we are saved it is no longer us who is alive, but Christ lives in us. The life that we now live in the flesh we are to live by faith in the One who is our life.
