I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life, so that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God and obeying him. Deuteronomy 30

“If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and observe his commandments, then you shall live and become numerous and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess, but, if your heart turns away and you do not hear but are led astray, to bow down to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall perish.”
