Bible Note: Hi Angel, You wrote, "He has given us a choice (one choice), and we must choose Life in order to live! (Deuteronomy 30:19)." I think that it is important to see that it is Moses speaking in this verse. He (Moses) is not offering Life, but rather he is setting before them life and death, the blessing and the curse. They are instructed to choose "life". It isn't until Acts 5:20, Colossians 3:4 and 1 John 1:1, that we are offered the "Life" that is in Christ. 1) I find nine pronouns of Moses in Deuteronomy 30 as he gives the commandments. Moses tells them to love the Lord your God. 2) In Deuteronomy 31 he tells them to "hear and learn and fear the Lord your God, and be careful to observe all the words of this law." But we don't obey the law of this one, Moses. We obey the One who goes before us, even the Lord our God. Deuteronomy 31:6, NKJ, "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." And for Joshua also, the Lord was the One who went before him. Deuteronomy 31:8, NKJ, "And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed." From the heart, Ray |
