+### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ezekiel33.1-20)
+
+Chapter 33 begins the second major section of the book of Ezekiel. Previously,
+the focus was on Jerusalem's past and the judgement that was occuring because of
+it in the present and near future (from the exiles' perspective). Now the focus
+is on the future Jerusalem, which God will restore for His people.
+
+The charge that Ezekiel received in chapter 3 to be a watchman who warns
+the people of coming danger is repeated nearly verbatim here. Ezekiel's
+responsibility is still to warn the people of judgement coming upon their
+iniquity, but if they do not repent, he has done all that he can. But if he
+doesn't warn them then they will still be judged, but Ezekiel would also be
+responsible for their consequences too. While I believe this is specifically
+Ezekiel's charge, and not something individual believers should be afraid will
+be applied to them, collectively, we, the Church, ought to be more mindful
+of our responsibility to preach the  Gospel to a dying world.
+[Romans 10:14](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Romans10.14) is as true now as it
+was when Paul wrote it.
+
+Verses 10–20 are likewise a restatement of chapter 18, wherein the Lord offers
+forgiveness to contrite hearts that have done wicked things but now seek to
+do righteousness. Additionally, a good person who turns from those ways to do
+evil will not be saved by his previous actions. The Israelites had accused the
+Lord of  being unjust for treating people this way, but the Lord isn't talking
+about someone who constantly flip-flops back and forth between righteousness
+and wickedness. No, the Lord is looking at those whose lives are  transformed.
+Sinners can be kind and loving, and saints still sin on the regular, but true
+heart transformation, we know, comes from the blood of Jesus.

+Your justice is pure and altogether righteous.
