Deuteronomy 30:19 (ESV)
19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live,
Israel was chosen out of all mankind to be the people of God who would bring His light into the world. The disobedience of Adam would foreshadow the disobedience of Israel and they would be thrown from the promised land.
The light of the world did come through this people in the person of the second Adam who was Jesus Christ. He would show us the way of obedience to the Father which enables us to enter His life and His eternal fellowship. It is the same choice between life and death. This has always been the question God poses to man. What is the right answer? In a word: Jesus. Only in Him can we perfectly obey our Father because He is the only perfect man. Through Him we can choose life.
