11)Say unto them, as I live,
saith the LORD GOD, I have
no pleasure in the death of
the wicked; but that the
wicked turn from his way and
live; turn ye turn ye from
your evils ways; for why will
ye die o house of Israel?

NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF
THE WICKED
GOD want every body to turn to
him for salvation so that they will
not die in their SINS, says to them,
as I live, say the lord GOD, I take
no pleasure in the death of the
wicked, but rather that the
wicked
TURN YE WICKED FROM YOUR
EVIL WAYS
O leave sin, cease to do evil, be
persuaded to repent
wicked turn from his evil way and
live, turn back to GOD, change the
way of living and thinking, turn
back in repentance from his evil
ways, make a turn from sin to
holiness, and from death to life,
for why should you die
WHY WILL YE DIE
Death is not a good choice, not of
GOD, so long as you go in the
right and lawful way; who so ever
that sin against GOD wrong his
soul and have chosen death
*GOD is not willing that any man
should perish but that all should
come into repentance and that all
should be saved
2 PETER 3:9
The wicked man should turn
from his evil ways to live.

EZEKIEL 3:17-21

17)Son of man, I have made
thee a watchman unto the
house of Israel; therefore
hear the word at my mouth,
and give them warning from
me
18)When I say unto the
wicked, thou shalt surely die;
and thou givest him not
warning, nor speakest to
warn the wicked from his
wicked way, to save his life;
the same wicked man shall
die in his iniquity; but thou
hast delivered thy soul
19) Yet if thou warn the
wicked and he turn not from
his wickedness nor from his
wicked ways he shall die in
his iniquity; but thou hast
delivered thou soul
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
21)Nevertheless if thou warn
the righteous man, that the
righteous sin not, and he
doth sin, he shall surely live,
because he is warned; also
thou hast delivered thy sou

I HAVE MADE THEE A
WATCHMAN
They become watchman through
gifts bestowed upon them,
qualifying them for the office,
and they themselves are to take
care of the flocks,
which duties includes:
- Instruct the people in
divine things
- To warn them of their evil
ways and the danger and
expose them to such
- Watching over the souls
of men as shepherds over
their flocks that they may
Go the right way of the
LORD and not astray
v To the discharge of the
office with < quick sight,
diligence in looking out,
clear-headedness ,
vigilance, courage and
faithfulness
GIVE THEM WARNING FROM ME
Give warning concerning sinning
against GOD, dishonoring his
name, that they live righteously,
and godly, avoid all appearance of
evil, and shun the company
wicked men, beware of
innovations in worship by false
teachers and doctrine
WHEN I SAY UNTO THE WICKED
THOU SHALL SURELY DIE AND
THOU GIVES NO WARNING
The warning to the people of
GOD that no sinner escapes the
penalty of death unless he
repents and is forgiven by GOD
Death was the penalty for original
sin GEN. 2:17 and it is present
penalty under grace as under the
law
ROMANS 1:29-32
ROMANS 12:8-13
There is no automatic work of
grace offering forgiveness without
repentance and putting away sin
but by faith through JESUS
CHRIST, any other way would by a
mockery of sin and give one
license to continue in sin, that
each man is individually
responsible for his actions and
will be judged according to these
and these alone
YET IF THOU WARN THE WICKED
*If the prophets /teacher refuse
to warn the wicked man internal
wickedness of heart and external
life and he dies in his sins, his
blood will be required by the
prophet/teacher
*If the wicked man the sinfulness
of heart, which is the mechanism
of all ,is warned and he repents
and turn from sin, his life will be
saved.
*If the prophets/teacher warns
the wicked and he does not turn
from sin, then the teacher/
prophet is clear from his blood
and all responsibility
*If a wicked man who is warned
or not warned does not turn from
his sin, he will die in sin be lost
AGAIN, WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN
DOTH TURN FROM RIGHTEOUSNESS
*If a righteous man truly
devoted to the love and service
of GOD in heart and life; one
whose person is justified, whose
nature is renewed , and whose
practice is conformed to GOD”s
Holy will do turn from
righteousness, commits sin again,
and GOD lay a stumbling block
To bear the penalty of his
guilt)before him and he dies in his
sin, all his righteousness which
has done will not be remembered
*If the teacher/prophet has
warned the righteous man he
truly , really godly regenerated
man in CHRIST righteousness
and he sin not deliberately take
steps and depart further from
sin, and keep better way with
GOD and , both he and the
righteous man will be saved
IF THOU WARN THE RIGHTEOUS
MAN
*If the prophet/ teacher has not
warned the righteous man
depend on the righteousness of
CHRIST, the regenerated man ,
that they careful to maintain good
works and he turn from his
righteousness to live in sin again,
the prophet/teacher will be held
responsible
* If the righteous turns from his
righteousness to live in sin again,
he will be lost if he dies in his sin
whether he is warned or not
*The only way a righteous man
can be saved is by continuing in
his righteousness instead of sin

21)But if the wicked will turn
from all his sins that he hath
committed, and keep all my
statutes, and do that which is
lawful and right, he shall
surely live, he shall not die
22)All his transgression that
he hath committed, they
shall not be, mentioned unto
him; in his righteousness that
he hath done he shall live
23)Have I any pleasure at all
that the wicked should die?
Saith the LORD GOD; and not
that he should return from
his ways, and live?

IF THE WICKED WILL TURN FROM
ALL HIS SINS
That is repent and bring forth
fruits worthy of repentance, GOD
promises salvation to any of the
wicked who choose to forsake
their sins and turn to GOD, no one
is forced to follow sin, GOD
desires to bring each sinner into
fellowship with himself and never
pleased when a wicked person
dies in sin
But if the wicked man turns away
from all his sins, which he has
committed, repents, mourns over
and sorrow expressed for it and
forsake of them and keeps all my
statutes and practice justice and
righteousness, he shall certainly
live; he shall not die
All his transgression which he has
committed formerly but now
repented for, will not be
remembered against him; they
should be forgotten, because of
his righteousness proper fruits of
repentance, shall which he has
practiced for his moral and
spiritual integrity in every area ,
he will live
HAVE I ANY PLEASURE AT ALL
THAT THE WICKED SHOULD DIE
Have I any pleasure at all that
the wicked should die? Said the
LORD GOD, perish, rather than
that he should turn away from his
evil ways and live

7 Let the wicked forsake his
way, and the unrighteous
man his thoughts; and let
him return to the LORD, and
he will have mercy upon him;
and to our GOD, for he will
abundantly pardon
|
LET THE WICKED FORSAKE HIS
WAY
Any wicked, restless, and ungodly
man, should forsake his evil or
wicked way, his wicked course of
life; and which is his own way, of
his own choosing, and in which he
delights, and make sin the course
of his life, though he does not and
cannot live without sin.
UNRIGHTEOUS MAN HIS
THOUGHTS
But his sinful thought, his wrong
thought of religion, full of
unrighteousness that is contrary
to the will of GOD, his thought of
self-righteous, he must be of all
thought of his own righteousness
, and acknowledge himself an
unrighteous man, and return to
GOD from whom he departed,
against whom he has sinned, and
who only can save him, he will be
abundantly pardon.

|
BUT IF THE WICKED WILL TURN
FROM ALL HIS SINS
That the sinner/ wicked if he
truly repent of the sins, and
thoroughly forsake all sin ,is to be
detested , mourned and be
sorrowfully expressed for it, in
sincerity he can live, if he turn
back from his sin that he had
committed, keep all My statutes ,
and do that which is lawful and
right, he shall not die if he repent
and bring forth fruit meet for
repentance, he shall escape
punishment and live.
All the transgression that he has
committed before his repentance,
conversion and obedience will be
blotted out; and will not be
mentioned to him, in his
righteousness which he has done
since turning from sin , he shall
live.
HAVE I ANY PLEASURE AT ALL
THAT THE WICKED SHOULD DIE
GOD has no pleasure that the
wicked should die, but desire his
conversion that he may live, GOD
is therefore just, merciful and
gracious and punish non with
death but those who either will
not desist from evil
Is it more pleasing to GOD that a
man should repent of his sins, and
forsake his cruel ways of life, and
enjoy good things than to goon in
sins, and bring destruction on
himself, here and hereafter
