1. You can do it.

“The law is not too high for thee. It is not only known afar off; it is not confined to men of learning. It is written in thy books, made plain, so that he who runs may read it. It is in thy mouth, in the tongue commonly used by thee, in which thou mayest hear it read, and talk of it among thy children.” (Matthew Henry, https://biblehub.com/commentaries/deuteronomy/30-14.htm)

2. God gave them a choice.

Love the Lord your God. Walk in His ways. Keep His commandments, statutes, and rules.

“Resolved: That all men should live for the glory of God. Resolved: That whether others do or not, I will.” Jonathan Edwards. (The Preacher’s Commentary, Deuteronomy, Maxwell, 301).

3. Don't let your heart turn you away.

4. Choose Life.
