“For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: but because the Lord loved you, and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand.... Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.” Deuteronomy 7:6-8, 11. Please read carefully the whole of the seventh chapter of Deuteronomy, and think upon the word of the Lord. (TM 141.1) MC VC

Will you turn from a plain “Thus saith the Lord” after reading the history of Adam’s sin and fall? He fell because he discarded the words of the Lord and heeded the words of Satan. Will it pay to transgress? By transgression Adam lost Eden. By the transgression of God’s commandments man will lose heaven, and an eternity of bliss. These are no idle tales, but truth. Again I ask, On which side are you standing? “If the Lord be God, follow Him: but if Baal, then follow him.” 1 Kings 18:21. (TM 141.2) MC VC
