Deuteronomy 30:1
The Results of Covenant Reaffirmation
30:1 “When you have experienced all these things, both the blessings and the curses I have set before you, you will reflect upon them in all the nations where the Lord your God has banished you.
Deuteronomy 30:15-20
30:15 “Look! I have set before you today life and prosperity on the one hand, and death and disaster on the other.
30:16 What I am commanding you today is to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to obey his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances. Then you will live and become numerous and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are about to possess.
30:17 However, if you turn aside and do not obey, but are lured away to worship and serve other gods,
30:18 I declare to you this very day that you will certainly perish! You will not extend your time in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
30:19 Today I invoke heaven and earth as a witness against you that I have set life and death, blessing and curse, before you. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live!
30:20 I also call on you to love the Lord your God, to obey him and be loyal to him, for he gives you life and enables you to live continually in the land the Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
