—Ezekiel 18:1-9, 30-32
by: Michaella Osborn.
God’s call to His people was the same all throughout Scripture: turn from wickedness and follow Him. He taught in this chapter of Ezekiel that if people repent and live righteously, they have a path to life! But there is one problem—none of us can live a righteous life on our own. God’s continual call for His people to repent and turn towards Him sets us up to understand our need for Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The first bears our punishment for us so that we can have good standing with God, and the second sanctifies us day by day and empowers us to live a more righteous life.
