BILL BRINKWORTH<\/a> 5 COMMENTS ON THERE\u2019S A TERRIBLE PRICE FOR NOT OBEYING GOD<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Moses\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prior to Deuteronomy 28, Moses detailed many of God\u2019s laws to Israel. He made the people aware that they would be blessed by God if they would follow them; and that He would curse their properties, efforts, and lives if they did not honor His commandments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although recited more than 1,450 years before the birth of Christ, God\u2019s warnings should still be heeded today. God does not change.  Although our salvation is not related to good works, we should know that what pleased Him then, still pleases Him.  What brought His wrath then will bring it upon people today.  No one gets away with iniquity, and disobedience is a sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd it shall come to pass, if<\/strong> thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:\u201d Deut. 28:1
<\/em>In Deut. 28:1, Moses told his people that if they would follow all of God\u2019s commandments, He would bless them in 18 different ways (Duet. 28:1-13).   Some of those areas in which God would bless them included: making them superior over other nations, their cities and other lands would be blessed by the Creator, and what grew would prosper.  They would be successful in battle. They would be a holy people. Enemies would fear their godly reputation.  God would bless the earth for their needs. They would be lenders, not borrowers, and they would be leaders and not followers. The ways God would bless them covered most facets of their lives.  His promises would give them a wonderful life, but to obtain it they had to be obedient to God\u2019s commandments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also have God\u2019s hand of blessings on our lives if we will follow God\u2019s commandments. The only difference between now and then is that to be His child, we must first be saved.  Once that occurs, we should then obey all that He shows us in His preserved Word, the Bible, to receive His blessings.
\u201cBut it shall come to pass, if<\/strong> thou wilt not<\/strong> hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:\u201d Deut. 28:15<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the saved obey, they will be blessed; but there are tremendous consequences if they do not obey what God expects of them.  There are approximately 101 curses put on those that chose not to obey them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price of rebelling against God is extremely high.  Some of the signs of God\u2019s wrath against those that chose to rebel against Him include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
