The Context of Ezekiel 18:22
Repentance erases the reckoning of past sin.
What Does Ezekiel 18:22 Mean?
The previous transgressions are not mentioned—they are not brought up, not counted, not held against the person who has truly turned. This is the power of repentance: it breaks the power of the past to determine the present.
Instead, the person lives in their righteousness. They are reckoned according to their new choices, not their old ones. Identity is redeemable.
