Deuteronomy 30:15-16

Deuteronomy 30:15-16 (KJV)

See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil: In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

He gives us the right to choose.  We have the option to live a blessed life, full of the riches of God, or to reject His precepts, and die miserably.  The choice is ours to go and possess the land or die in the wilderness.
