Don’t Erase Your Good!
Ezekiel 3:20 – Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Few days ago, we discussed Totally Forgiven [details are here in parts, 1 and 2]. We found out that once God forgives anyone that person remains forgiven and the record of sins done by him or her are totally erased. Is this applicable to one’s righteousness?
The above scriptures make us to understand that if a righteous person turns from his/her righteousness to wickedness and eventually dies in wickedness, then the righteousness of that former righteous person is totally erased! Is God wicked?
God doesn’t rob peter to pay Paul, Galatians 6:7. What is applicable to the sins of the former sinner that is what is also applicable to the righteousness of the former righteous. That is why we are always advised by the scriptures to maintain our righteousness and never to compromise with the world.
Someone will like to point to the case of Moses and Joshua the High Priest in Jude1: 9 and Zechariah 3:1 but beloved, grace spoken for them because they didn’t deliberately turn from righteousness to wickedness. Moreover, it was a one time event in their they were accused of by satan the accuser.
Brothers and Sisters don’t erase your righteousness. Shalom!
