“Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.” Deuteronomy 5:33
Obedience to God’s commandments – from the heart – brings life, blessing, and longevity. Disobedience, however, brings death and judgment. Because of our sinful hearts, what was meant for our good has brought the curse and condemnation of God’s law upon us. We, therefore, flee to Jesus and His cross for pardon and peace. Only in Him can we sinners find forgiveness and life everlasting!
Pardon my sin, O LORD, and cleanse my heart, that I may live unto Thee. “Teach me Thy way, O LORD; I will walk in Thy truth: unite my heart to fear Thy name” (Ps. 86:11). I ask this for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
