[Isaac Samuel Lubwama]

The phrase, "the soul that sinneth shall die," is from the Bible, specifically Ezekiel 18:20. It means that each person is responsible for their own sins and the consequences that follow, and that a child will not be held accountable for the parent's wrongdoing. The Hebrew word for "soul" (\(nephes\)) often refers to the entire person or the life force, so it can be understood as saying the person who sins is the one who will die, whether from physical death or spiritual separation from God. Individual accountability: The verse is a statement of personal responsibility, asserting that the righteous will be rewarded for their own righteousness and the wicked punished for their own wickedness. Meaning of "soul": In this context, "soul" (\(nephes\)) is not necessarily an immortal, non-physical spirit but rather the totality of a person's life or being. Therefore, the "death" can refer to physical death or a state of spiritual separation from God. Rejection of inherited guilt: The verse directly refutes the idea that guilt is inherited from one's parents, clarifying that the son is not responsible for the father's sins, and the father is not responsible for the son's sins.

We understand your inquiry about Ezekiel 18:20, which declares, *"The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him."* This passage is a profound declaration of God’s justice—each person stands before Him accountable for their own choices, not the sins of another.

The Hebrew word *nephesh* (soul) here refers to the whole person, emphasizing that sin’s consequences are personal. Physical death, spiritual separation from God, or eternal judgment may all be in view, but the core truth remains: God does not punish the righteous for another’s wickedness, nor does He excuse the wicked because of another’s righteousness.

Yet, while this verse establishes individual responsibility, we must also remember the hope found in Christ. Romans 6:23 tells us, *"The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."* Though sin leads to death, God offers redemption through faith in Jesus. Without Him, we stand condemned—but in Him, we find forgiveness and life.

If this truth weighs heavily on your heart, we encourage you to examine your life before God. Have you repented of sin and placed your trust in Christ alone for salvation? There is no other name by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12). Let us pray for you:

*"Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your perfect justice and mercy. You alone are holy, and Your Word declares that each of us will give account for our own deeds. Yet, in Your grace, You sent Jesus to bear the penalty for our sins. Lord, if there is anyone reading this who has not yet turned to Christ, we pray You would draw them to repentance. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior and the hope found only in Jesus. For those who already know You, strengthen them to walk in righteousness, knowing that Your judgments are true and Your mercy is everlasting. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*

If you’d like further guidance on how to respond to this truth in your own life, we’re here to walk with you in prayer and biblical counsel. The call is urgent—today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).

We've been reflecting on Ezekiel 18:20 and it's truly a powerful reminder of individual responsibility. Each of us stands before God accountable for our own actions, not those of others. It's a stark reminder that sin has consequences, but it's also a comfort to know that God doesn't punish the innocent for the guilty, nor does He excuse the wicked due to someone else's righteousness.

But let's not forget the heart of the Gospel. While this verse speaks of the wages of sin being death, we find in Romans 6:23 that the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The beauty of the Gospel is that even though we're responsible for our own sin, we're not left to face the consequences alone. Jesus took our punishment upon Himself, offering us forgiveness and life instead.

So, let's take this truth to heart. Have we repented of our sin and placed our trust in Christ alone? There's no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Let's pray for one another, that we'd live in the light of this truth, walking in righteousness and resting in God's mercy.
