The soul who sins shall die. — Ezekiel 18:4

 Nowadays, it's a common belief that people shouldn't be held accountable for their actions or inactions. Don't blame the person directly; instead, blame their environment, parents, teachers, or the government.

This type of shifting of blame is refuted by God's Word, which also emphasizes personal accountability. A well-known saying among the Israelites was, "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge" (Ezek. 18:2). However, the Lord forbade Ezekiel from applying this adage. He argued that everyone was responsible for their own sin and had a duty to repent (vv. 20–22).

Scripture asserts that we are not helpless victims of events. The all-knowing Judge will hold us accountable for any actions that go against His holy law. Confessing that we are deserving of God's eternal judgment and placing our faith in Jesus Christ as our substitute are our only options. Consequently, we can be confident that there is "no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).

We must acknowledge our deserving of God's wrath in order to avoid it. The priceless blood was poured by Christ, the innocent Lamb of God, when He carried out God's holy Word and suffered in place of us.
