“God’s commands are not merely demands, they are invitations– invitations to fullness of life.  They are not merely obligations, they are opportunities.  They are not merely precepts, they are promises.  ’I set before you the way of life and the way of death,’ God says.  The way of life requires obedience to the commands in His Word and the way of death is assured by disobedience to them.”
