Turn and Live - Ezekiel 18:30-32

Ezekiel’s message? The soul who sins shall die, whether father or son. But those who repent of their wicked ways will be pardoned and live!

God has spoken to us by his Son

Not only do we have the Word of God revealed to us by God’s angels and by the prophets of God; we have the very Word of God the Son, who came into this world a true man that He might redeem us and bring us back into fellowship with God.

‘Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven’

Have you ever considered what a blessing it is to have the forgiveness of God? What a blessing to have the LORD not hold your sins and iniquities against you? To be forgiven of the LORD removes all fear of wrath and condemnation and gives us peace with God. To have forgiveness for all our sins gives us the assurance of life everlasting!

Need we be afraid of God’s judgment?

Have you ever been afraid that you would come short on Judgment Day - that instead of being welcomed into heaven, you would be condemned to eternal suffering in hell because of your sins and shortcomings? To be honest, I think all Christians are troubled by such fears.

Let all mortal flesh keep silence

Wouldn’t we also, if we found ourselves standing in the presence of the Lord God, like Isaiah, say, “Woe is me! For I am undone because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts”?

Why are some saved and others condemned?

Why is it that some will be saved and have everlasting life in heaven and others will be condemned to everlasting torment in hell? We find the answer in John 3:14-18.

How do you want to be remembered?

As we prepare for Christ’s second advent — His triumphal entry into this world as eternal King and Judge — we lift up our souls to the LORD and pray that He would remember and look upon us in His mercy and not according to our sinfulness under His law.

How should we worship God?

It’s not where we worship, the music we sing, or even the words we speak. God desires that we worship Him in spirit and in truth. And that only happens when we repent of our sinful ways and look in faith to Jesus and His cross for pardon, forgiveness and acceptance in God’s sight.
