Continue with Your Future, Your Choice!

Moses, the leader of the ancient nation of Israel, told the people as they were about to enter the Promised Land:  "I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the curse; you must choose life so that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice, and by sticking to him." - Deuteronomy 30:15, 18, 20. 

Yes, God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and put before them the prospect of a free and happy life in the Promised Land.  But all that would not come  upon them automatically.  To gain those blessings, they had to "choose life." How?  'By loving God, by listening to his voice, and by sticking to him.'

Today, a similar choice is before you, and how you choose will determine what your future will be.  By choosing to love God, to listen to his voice, and to stick to him, you will in effect be choosing life-life everlasting on a paradise earth.  But what is involved in each of those steps?
