HE WHO SINS DIES

Ezek. 18:20a The one who sins is the one who dies. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. NLT

       The one who sins is the one who dies. I cannot die for you and you cannot die for me. No one can take the blame or responsibility for my sins but me. No matter how much I may love you and want to spare you the consequences of sin, I can’t. There are a lot of things we can do for each other, but intervening before God in each other’s place for our sins is not one of them.

       Only Jesus is qualified and capable of sparing us from the consequences of sin. Only Jesus can satisfy the demands of God’s justice and make us holy before Him. Only Jesus can forgive us and remove our sins from us. Only Jesus can make it possible for us to not sin against God. Only Jesus can spare us from eternal separation from God.

       The closer you walk in fellowship with Jesus daily in your life, the less you will fall into sin.  

      He will change the desires of your heart so that you won’t want to sin. Jesus opens our eyes to see sin for what it really is, the destroyer of our souls.

       You will spend eternity where you deserve to be.  If you choose to be with God, you will let Jesus take away your sins now.  You cannot take one with you into heaven.  They must all go.  If you choose to hang onto any of your sins, you will answer to God for it.  He who sins will die and spend eternity in hell without God. 

       Choose you this day whom you will serve, God or Satan.  Today is the day of salvation; you make never make it to tomorrow.
