Man naturally tends to cling to sin. They have abused the freedom that
God the creator has given them. Not considering the repercussions of their
actions.
The Lord had set before the Israelites life and good or death and evil.
It was upon the Israelites to choose what they desired. When you obey the commandments;
to love God with all your heart, to walk in his ways and keep/obey his
statutes, you are choosing life and the good of the Lord
Blessings and multiplication were promised to those who chose life. But
when our minds and hearts turn away from God’s ordinances, we stop serving him
and worship other gods. We are saying that we don’t choose life but we prefer
death and evil. Worshipping other gods is what we primarily put before God. Not
giving God the first priority in our lives.
The Lord has given human beings the free will to choose between
blessings and curses. Neglecting God’s laws is preferring curses than blessings
and the Lord declares that these will perish.
On the other hand if we submit to God's statues, obeying his voice and
cling to him; he will satisfy us with long life and blessings that will affect
our descendants. What is that sin that you have clung so tightly to, when the
Lord is calling you to choose life?
