Being a believer is a choice, no different than when Moses writes that we are to choose either life or death. These choices are connected because choosing to be committed to our Creator is choosing life. Choosing to follow the ways of the Creator is choosing His way over our own way. The choices we make every day either allow us to live the way we are designed to live or they begin to destroy us because we reject the Creator. There is no gray area, His word is a sharp sword. Isaiah 49:2, “And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me” We are either committed to Him or we reject Him, the choice is ours.
