Your Own Sin

“But the sons of the slayers he did not put to death, according to what is written in the book of the Law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, ‘The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers; but each shall be put to death for his own sin.’” (2 Kings 14:6)

 

Make no mistake – you are not guilty of your parent’s sins, nor will your parents’ righteousness sustain you.  God’s justice demands individual accountability, and His mercy refuses to lump one man into another’s guilt.

 

You need only claim your own sins and no others.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

This Week’s Reading: 2 Kings 14-20; Psalm 41; Proverbs 10

This year, #Biblebites are looking at lessons from the history of the Old Testament.  Each week reads a section of history with a Psalm to meditate on and a dash of Proverbs to dwell upon.  If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2024-vision
