"Choose life"

More profound words have never been spoken, than in Deuteronomy 30:19. This statement reveals one of the God's most remarkable qualities. God loves His people dearly, and wants for them to love Him back. When it comes down to it, though, God allows His people to choose for themselves. They are free to choose life or to choose death, but the key is, they are free indeed. God makes it clear that the choice to love Him or not carries dire consequences, but God still allows His people to choose for themselves.
