Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall

Ezekiel 18:21-32

But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live. Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?

But if a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked person does, will they live? None of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die.

Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear, you Israelites: Is my way unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust?

Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

Why?
Actually, there is no one righteousness in the world, all are sinners. So we need to repent and turn away from all offenses, repent and accept Jesus Christ as our savior, so then we may live.

We need to get a new heart and a new spirit. This is the only way to get a new life in Christ.

It is easy but without the Holy Spirit, no one can get this new life.

We may like to see the wicked one die, but all of this belongs to the Lord. Let us see and wait for the consequences.

How?

Obey the words of the Lord, and don't let the Holy Spirit worry about us.
