The Vision, Day 14

Individual accountability. Read Ezekiel chapter 14.

As the Lord is continuing to explain judgment on the people of Israel, he makes the statement that even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were involved, they would only be able to save themselves. The people of Israel would understand those were three of the most righteous people from their recorded history. Even as good as they were, their belief in Christ and obedience to him were only good enough to account for themselves. Their children and their family still had individual responsibility to God.

We must understand that each one of us have our own accountability to God. We are responsible for our obedience and whether or not we are following his commands. Now, we must teach the next generation, and we must lead them, and show them. But ultimately, we cannot do that for them. Every person must make their own decision on what they’re going to do about Jesus Christ. What decision have you made today?
