Ezekiel 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.''
God the maker of all flesh is full of compassion and mercy. We see this throughout the pages of the Bible.
We see here in Ezekiel that He has the right over every human soul, they are all His. This because He made them, just like the potter has a right over his pottery. He says that the soul that sins shall die. We see this truth in all the new testament, Romans 6:32a ''For the wages of sin is death''
We also learn that God's great mercy is shown through His Son Jesus, to sinners. We see in Romans 5:8 ''but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.''
This is the only hope for all peoples in this world, the death and resurrection of Jesus the King of glory. Through His death dirty sinners are reconciled to a loving and holy Father, who is rich in mercy.
God is calling the nations to turn back to Him, He is calling people from all kinds of tribes and languages in to a glorious relationship with Him that will last for eternity. It is incredible that this perfect and magnificent God has chosen to use people, Christians to tell the nations these unsearchable riches that are in Christ. The believers have been given such a great responsibility to tell the world what Jesus has accomplished for them.
Its is God's joy to make the nations rich before Him, since we are all born poor in our sin. He wants to give them a place in His Kingdom, so they become His Children.
Isn't that amazing, it blows my mind. It in fact thrills me.
Christian, you are given a great privilege from God Almighty to call men to Himself. Are you going to respond by being serious about it and let people know, or will you disobey? The choice is before you.
To you who has not trusted in Christ, i beg you to please come to Jesus. Turn from your sins before it is too late and cling on to Christ believing that He takes away your sins and saves you.
May the unsearchable riches of Christ be preached among all peoples, may the nations turn and see the lamb who was pierced for their iniquities.
Amen.
