What Does Ezekiel 18:28 Mean?
The word 'considereth' is key: awareness and deliberate reflection on one's own sin lead to transformation. This is not thoughtless change but conscious repentance. Turning away from all transgressions is complete, not partial.
The promise is absolute: he shall surely live, he shall not die. Genuine repentance changes the outcome fundamentally.
