Personal Responsibility Before God

This message centers on the biblical principle of personal responsibility before God, using Ezekiel 18 to correct the mistaken belief that individuals are punished for the sins of their parents. Acknowledging that parents can strongly influence their children, the sermon stresses that influence is not an excuse, and repentance can change the outcome for anyone who turns from sin. Salvation and judgment are personal matters, and that each individual must choose obedience and repentance for themselves.
