In Leviticus 26, God spills out some pretty clear details on what it means to remain faithful to a covenant. God promises blessings and abundance if they choose to obey Him. If they do not choose to obey God, He also spills out some pretty clear consequences for that choice. God gives people choices. He doesn't force Himself on anyone. The Israelites were given a choice to follow God with all their heart of chase after false idols. God wants to dwell with us. He wants to be a part of our daily moments. He makes another promise to them knowing they will choose disobedience. He will bring them back despite their sins. He will give them life no matter how close to death they are. He does just that when He gave us Jesus. He gave everything so we could be close to God with no barriers. All we have to do is say "yes" and receive His amazingly generous gift.
