Obey God and he'll bless your health, your marriage, your bank account. It's a popular promise, often lifted straight from Deuteronomy 28. But read the whole chapter, and a very different, far more sobering picture emerges.
Ray Ternes unpacks why these blessings and curses were never a formula for us today, why the curses vastly outweigh the blessings in the text, and what that reveals about how deeply sin runs in every human heart. But that's not where it ends. Christ became a curse for us, so what we receive in him isn't conditional at all. It's a better blessing than any land could ever offer, one that was always meant to be shared.
