Ezekiel 36:17

Ezekiel 36:17

I. Look at man sinning. "Ye have defiled the land." The text sets sin before us as a defilement, and it is the only thing that in the eye of God does deform and defile us.

II. Look at the nature of the defilement. (1) It is internal. (2) It is universal. (3) It is incurable.

T. Guthrie, The Gospel in Ezekiel,p. 23.

Leaving the question of original, to speak of actual, sin we remark:

I. Apart from derived sin, we have personal sins to answer for.

II. The guilt of these actual sins is our own.

T. Guthrie, The Gospel in Ezekiel,p. 43.
