The God Who Wants to Know You #4 - The "Hinge"

After six years of warnings, a fugitive reports that Jerusalem has fallen, yet Ezekiel’s listeners still treat God’s word like entertainment. God rejects both despair that says change is impossible and pride that banks good deeds against sin. The true hinge is repentance. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and Jesus bears His people’s punishment on the cross so they can turn, believe, and live. Hearing is not enough; His warning demands a real response and a life of ongoing repentance. Bible Reference: Ezekiel 33 Preacher: KJ Tromp
