Show Notes

But if wicked people turn away from all their sins and begin to obey my decrees and do what is just and right, they will surely live and not die. All their past sins will be forgotten, and they will live because of the righteous things they have done.
Do you think that I like to see wicked people die? says the Sovereign Lord. Of course not! I want them to turn from their wicked ways and live.
-- Ezekiel 18:21-23

There is an end to all wickedness, and we are closer to it now than we were moments ago. The Bible tells us that God's desire is not that anyone would perish, but that all will come to repentance. The Bible also tells us that some people will reject God and salvation, and suffer eternal consequences for their sins. This message is a call to compassion that urges us to pray; not just for our friends, but our enemies.
