He puesto delante de ti la vida y la muerte, la bendición y la invocación de mal; y tienes que escoger la vida a fin de que te mantengas vivo, tú y tu prole, amando a Jehová tu Dios, escuchando su voz y adhiriéndote a él (Deu. 30:19, 20).
Es cierto que el pueblo de Israel no fue fiel, pero no por ello cambiaron las tres condiciones básicas para recibir la vida enumeradas por Moisés. De hecho, Jesús y otros siervos de Dios volvieron a mencionarlas. Cumplimos con la primera condición “amando a Jehová”, para lo cual tenemos que poner en práctica sus justas normas (Mat. 22:37). En segundo lugar, debemos seguir “escuchando su voz”. Esto lo hacemos al estudiar la Biblia y obedecer sus mandatos (1 Juan 5:3). Por eso es tan importante que vayamos a todas las reuniones, en donde se explica la Palabra de Dios (Heb. 10:23-25). Y por último, hemos de “adherirnos” o aferrarnos a Jehová. Venga lo que venga, demostremos fe en él y sigamos a su Hijo (2 Cor. 4:16-18).

I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the malediction; and you must choose life in order that you may keep alive, you and your offspring, by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him.—Deut. 30:19, 20.
Israel proved unfaithful to God, but the three basic requirements for life cited by Moses have not changed. They were restated by Jesus and others. First, ‘we must love Jehovah our God.’ We demonstrate that we love God by acting in accord with his righteous ways. (Matt. 22:37) Second, ‘we must listen to Jehovah’s voice’ by studying God’s Word and obeying his commandments. (1 John 5:3) This calls for our regular presence at Christian meetings, where the Bible is discussed. (Heb. 10:23-25) Third, ‘we must stick to Jehovah.’ Regardless of what we must face, let us always exercise faith in God and follow his Son.—2 Cor. 4:16-18.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
