What Does it Profit Them if They Gain the Whole World
But Lose or Forfeit Themselves –Luke 9:25 – Image: Mercy Lives
Moses said to his people: “Today I have set before you life and prosperity, death and adversity. If you obey the Commandments of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in His ways and obeying His commandments, decrees and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess but if your heart turns away and you do not hear but are led astray to bow down to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying Him and holding fast to Him. For that means life to you and length of days so that you may live in the land that the Lord swore to give to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” –Deuteronomy 30:15-20
