Ezekiel 17-18, Hebrews 9: 16-28, Proverbs 14: 5-14
Ezekiel 18: 21-22 (ESV)
““But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that
he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he
shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions that he has
committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has
done he shall live.”
Verses 21 and 22 from Ezekiel 18 reminds us that if you repent
for your sins and decide to follow all of God’s laws, God will forgive you and
you will not die. God will forget all the wrong you did, and only remember what
you did after you repented for your sins. Even though these verses were written
in the Old Testament by the prophet Ezekiel, they are telling us how the new
covenant of Jesus Christ will work. These verses also tell us we determine our
own fates by our actions. Even if have committed wrong, we can always repent
and ask God for forgiveness. We can also decide to change our life and behavior
to follow all of God’s rules and do what God considers just and right. God
loves us so much that he will forgive us for our past bad behavior. God will give
us full restoration when we repent and ask him for forgiveness, and show him by
our actions that we have changed.
