Watchmen

 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from Me.” (Ezek. 3:17)

1. God will hold us responsible for our not their .

 “When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved yourself.”

(Ezek. 3:18-19)

“…remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.” (Jas. 5:20)

1. God has called us to watch our and closely.

“Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.” (1 Tim. 4:16)
