Ezekiel 33:13-16 ESV
Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die. Again, though I say to the wicked, You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live.
Though. A word which implies that the expected result of a condition or situation may not be what happens. The end of a matter is determined at the end.
This is a word which may bring hope to some and worry for others. The possibility of change is possible.
It gives a thoughtful person something to think about when one considers the exhortation in Scripture to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Believing God is not a one time decision, but a way of life. It is the way of life.
