If I warn the wicked, saying, ‘You are under the penalty of death,’ but you fail to deliver the warning, they will die in their sins. And I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 19 If you warn them and they refuse to repent and keep on sinning, they will die in their sins. But you will have saved yourself because you obeyed me. --- Ezekiel 3:18-19 God had already told Ezekiel that the people would not listen, so why should he bother to tell them God’s message? God wanted the people to know they had been warned. Ezekiel’s job was to obey God. We are responsible to tell others about God’s judgment and his message of salvation. Although we are not held responsible for how they respond. If we refuse to tell others what we know, however, God will judge us. Remember God’s words to Ezekiel when you are tempted to remain silent among those who don’t believe. Life Application Study Bible notes
