"Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the
father, so also the soul of the son is mine; the soul that sinneth, it shall
die." (Ezekiel 18:4)
Some
verses of the Bible confuse many people. When there is constant suffering in
life, many people think that it is due to family curses. Many people think that
they and their children will be affected by the sins of their ancestors. Once a
brother who was suffering a lot in his life lamented to me, "Brother, my
sufferings are due to the sins of my father and grandfather."
He
continued, and the Bible says, "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving
iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty;
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's
children, unto the third and to the fourth generation." (Exodus 34:7) He
wept, saying that what is mentioned in the scriptures is true.
I
said to him, 'No, brother, if we accept Christ and live a repentant life, no
curse will overtake us. Christ Jesus has atoned for all our sins and curses. I
showed him the verse from the book of Ezekiel saying, "When we accept
Jesus as our saviour, no curses will overtake us; we can read this in the Old
Testament."
"The
soul that sinneth shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father,
nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon
him." (Ezekiel 18:20)
Yes,
beloved, no curse will overtake us when we live a righteous life, according to
Christ. He who sins will be punished for his sins. "What mean ye that ye
use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten
sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? As I live, saith the
Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in
Israel." (Ezekiel 18:2, 3)
The
disciples of Jesus Christ also had this thought. That is why they asked Jesus
Christ about this when they saw a man blind by birth. We read this:
"And
his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents,
that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned nor his
parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him." (John
9:2, 3)
So
when suffering continues in life, let us examine ourselves without blaming our
ancestors. He may have allowed us to suffer so that God's works might be
revealed in us. No curse can overtake us when we seek the forgiveness of Christ
and experience the salvation of being washed by His blood.
"The
soul that sinneth shall die." Says the Holy Lord. Let us commit to living
a godly life. None of the sins and curses of our ancestors can affect us.
"Behold,
all souls are mine," says the Holy Lord.
