one way or the other. That's why we will not try to force the Truth on
to anyone.
I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you
and your descendants may live, love the LORD your God, obey Him, and
remain faithful to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your
life in the land the LORD swore to give to your fathers Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. Deuteronomy 30:19-20
But if it doesn't please you to worship the LORD, choose for
yourselves today the one you will worship: the gods your fathers
worshiped beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in
whose land you are living. As for me and my family, we will worship
the LORD. Joshua 24:15
If you carefully obey My commands I am giving you today, to love the
LORD your God and worship Him with all your heart and all your soul, I
will provide rain for your land in season, the early and late rains,
and you will harvest your grain, new wine, and oil. I will provide
grass in your fields for your livestock. You will eat and be
satisfied. Be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside, worship,
and bow down to other gods. Then the LORD's anger will burn against
you. He will close the sky, and there will be no rain; the land will
not yield its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land
the LORD is giving you. Deuteronomy 11:13-17
This is how we are sure that we have come to know Him: by keeping His
commands. 1 John 2:3
