The Lord is your Life!

If you were asked this question right now, "What is your life?", what would your answer be? Take a little time and think on that and honestly answer.



Now read this verse and see if you can find the answer from God's Word:



Deuteronomy 30:19-20

19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”



What awesome verses! Let me share what caught my attention in these verses:



1. Choose life! God is life. Nothing else can claim that! Have you chosen life through Jesus Christ?



2. Love the Lord. Do you? The bible says this: John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments."



3. Obey God. With all of your life...do you? John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.



4. Holding onto Jesus. Wow do I need to hear that. In all the turmoil of life...hold onto Jesus! Who else would we want to hold onto anyway???

Hebrews 12:2 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.



5. He is your life! This is so important to grab a hold of this morning brothers and sisters. Jesus is not to be a just part of your life, or a Sunday Morning visit, or a little prayer at meal time, HE IS TO BE YOUR LIFE! Jesus should consume your life! Think about that!!! Please! God is a jealous God, and He wants all of us. Deuteronomy 4:24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.



So again let me ask...Is Jesus your life? It is of utmost importance that you examine your life and your families life and determine if He really is or not.
