Leviticus 26:40
“‘But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors —their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me,
Deuteronomy 7:12
If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.
Deuteronomy 28:1
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth
Deuteronomy 30:1
When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations,
Jeremiah 17:24
But if you are careful to obey me, declares the Lord, and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day holy by not doing any work on it,
John 1:7
He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.
Thoughts
. One great piece of mischief has been done by the modern restriction of the word temperance to the question of drink. It helps people to forget that you can be just as intemperate about lots of other things. A man who makes his golf or his motorcycle the center of his life, or a woman who devotes all her thoughts to clothes or bridge or her dog, is being just as “intemperate” as someone who gets drunk every evening. Of course, it does not show on the outside so easily; bridge mania or golf mania do not make you fall down in the middle of the road. But God is not deceived by externals. - C. S. Lewis
. To love another person is to help them love God. - Soren Kierkegaard
