There Is a Fine Line Between Blessings and Curses(Deu27)

 NIV]Deuteronomy 27:12 When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin. 

    God engraved His law on the stone to command His people to follow His commandment and law.  God required His people to listen quietly. To become God's people need to follow God's words. God's grace to guide them through all kind of difficulties so God's people need to pass God's word to their generations.

    Mount Gerizin is located on south of Shechem. Mount Ebal is located on north of Shechem. South is right side. It is symbol of noble and blessed. (Genesis 48:18, Matthew 25:34). It means people who follow God's law will be blessed by God. North is left side. It is symbol of lowly and misfortune. It means rebellious will be cursed. 

    [NIV]Matthew 7:13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. [NIV]Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. 

    Jesus Christ talks about the same truth. There are two ways when ending. We need to pass through small gate and narrow way for eternal life. There is no third way. This belief is totally contrast to modern day. In the multi culture society, many people been effected by the popular believe. Such believe recognize every way guide to Roma. Under the humanism belief, many Christians  compromised the truth from Jesus. They create the small gate and narrow road into wider gate and way. They rationalize many behaviors. They make easy way to pass through. Such behaviors might be likeable for people. But they don't know if Jesus Christ like or not？

    Blessing or cursing, eternal life or destroy, smart or silly, eternal happiness or eternal suffering, eternal life or temporary life. The boundary is clear. This is the way bible teach us. It is different to main thinking in the world. Dear friends, believe in Jesus Christ. Your soul will be saved lead to eternal life. Follow God's word to receive blessing from God.  Wait until Jesus Christ arrive take us to heaven. May we can make correct decision to enjoy happiness forever. 

    [NIV]2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. [NIV]2Peter 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives.[NIV]2Peter 3:12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. [NIV]2Peter 3:13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
