Faith Nugget: The Ways of God Are Equal For All Souls - The Soul of Man Is Eternal, Perpetual And Accountable To God
1. All souls will give account to God on the same basis (Ezek. 18:4).
2. The soul that sins will die, whether he is a righteous or a wicked man (Ezek. 18:4,20).
3. If a man is just and does that which is lawful and right, he will live (Ezek. 18:5-9).
4. If a righteous father has a wicked son, the righteousness of the father will not save the son from death (Ezek. 18:10-13).
5. The wicked son will die for his own sin and be responsible for it (Ezek. 18:13).
6. A righteous son of a wicked father will live for his own righteousness (Ezek. 18:14-17).
7. The wickedness of a father will not be passed upon a righteous son because of human relationship. He will not die for the sins of his father.
8. The wicked father will die for his own sins only (Ezek. 18:18).
9. The only time a son of a wicked man will bear the iniquity of his father is when he commits the same sins his father did (Ezek. 18:19).
10. The son will not bear the iniquity of the father, nor the father bear the iniquity of the son, except they commit the same sins (Ezek. 18:20).
11. The righteousness of the righteous will be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon him.
12. The wicked will live by having the death penalty cancelled in the day that he ceases to sin and turns to God with a whole heart (Ezek. 18:21,27-28).
13. All the sins of the wicked man will not be mentioned against him or damn his soul in the day that he quits sin and commits righteousness (Ezek. 18:22).
14. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked that he should die (Ezek. 18:23).
15. A righteous man who becomes a wicked man again dies by incurring the death penalty of the broken law in the day that he turns from his own righteousness to live in sin (Ezek. 18:24-28).
16. All the righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him from death in the day that he goes back into sin.
17. All his righteousness that he has done will not be mentioned, for it cannot deliver him from death when he sins.
18. The ways of God are always equal and just (Ezek. 18:25,29-30).
19. All men will be judged according to their own ways as to whether they have or have not conformed to the ways of God (Ezek. 18:30).
20. God invites and commands all people:
(1) To repent (Ezek. 18:30).
(2) To turn from their transgressions so that sin will not damn them
(3) To cast away all their sins, whereby they have sinned (Ezek. 18:31)
(4) To make themselves a new heart and a new spirit by meeting God's terms of salvation and becoming new creatures in Christ
(5) To turn yourselves, and live (Ezek. 18:32)
