In this sermon on Ezekiel 18, Jesse Lockhart emphasizes the urgency and necessity of repentance. He explains that sin always carries the price of death—both physical and spiritual—and that each soul is accountable for its own choices, not the sins of parents or children. Lockhart warns against iniquity, defined as believing one can do wrong and still be right with God, and reminds listeners that partial obedience or “getting close” is not enough. He highlights God’s mercy, showing that the Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but calls all to turn from sin and live. Repentance, he insists, is not optional but essential, a heartfelt turning away from transgression so that iniquity does not become our ruin.
