Ezekiel 33:11 Say
unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of
the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye
from your evil ways; for why will ye die? … Some people think that God is a
bully up in heaven just waiting for people to do something wrong so that He can
punish them. But that isn’t the picture of God that we get in our verse for
today. God hates sin, but God still loves the sinner and doesn’t take pleasure
in punishing them. In fact, God has already paid the price for the sinner’s
salvation. God wants to forgive and God wants to save! God must punish sin
because He is holy, but God wants to forgive and God wants to save. Have you
accepted God’s free gift of salvation? If you have, praise the Lord! If you
haven’t, you should do it right now!
