Life or Death? Part II
Life or Death?! Deuteronomy 30:15-20 Main Point: The Lord calls us to love and obey Him wholeheartedly so that we will have a blessed life and enjoy His blessings! Out of gratefulness for saving us, for He is our life! v.20b Two kinds of blessing in Christ: 1. Positional (Justification) unconditional: We are blessed spiritually in Christ! These come from the obedience of Jesus Christ! Ephesians 1:3, Hebrews 5:8-9 We are no longer under a curse: Galatians 3:13 Jeremiah 31:33 2. Conditional (Sanctification) Blessings: These come from our obedience to God’s will in Christ. II Thessalonians 4:3-4 We can hinder our growth and the blessings of God in our lives! II Peter 1:3-8
