Ezekiel 18:1-32, NIV
MM
Individual accountability in the eyes of God when sin is concerned.
….every living soul belongs to me, …The soul who sins is the one who will die vs 4…; righteous man who does what is just and right….list of things vs 6-9..That man is righteous, he will surely live….He will not die for his father’s sin vs 17; he will surely live and vice versa…. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him vs 20.
But if a wicked man turns away (i.e repents) from all sins….will not die (spiritual)….vs 21;..if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable sins…none of the righteous things he has done will be remembered…because of the unfaithfulness he is guilty of and because of the sins he has committed, he will die….vs 24…Thought: so who is unjust..you or God?…vs 25….I will judge you, each one according to his ways, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses then sin will not be your downfall…get a new heart and a new spirit.. I take no pleasure in the death of anyone…Repent and live! vs 30-32.
