Ezekiel 18:32

Verse 32

32. I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth If they die, it will be not because of God’s will, but because of their own. It is God’s will that all men come to repentance. (See 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:2-4.) Only their own obstinacy or indifference or love of sin, or unbelief, can keep them away from life. “The most glorious, the most blessed truth ever revealed of God to this sinning world is here that God has compassion toward even very guilty sinners; is pained, and not pleased, when he must punish; is delighted, even to infinite joy, when the sinner turns from his wicked way and lives.” Cowles.
