God told Ezekiel that God would hold Ezekiel accountable for telling people about pending judgment. No matter what the people's response, Ezekiel would have done his job. However, if Ezekiel did not warn the people, then God would hold him accountable for not telling them.
I believe there is a principle for us about evangelizing others. God holds us accountable to tell others about the pending judgment. He doesn't hold us accountable for anyone's response - though we should hone our evangelizing skills and not ourselves be offensive or blundering.
I think we all should take this call to evangelize much more seriously. God will hold us accountable to warn those around us. It is my conviction that the closer that people are to us, the more that God will hold us accountable for telling them the Good and bad News. Please consider your neighbors, family, and closest friends and begin praying for them and then telling. Do it today.
In my opinion, the best times in my life were those times that I got to pray with someone when they received Jesus Christ as their personal savior. The more we preach the Good News, the more that this happens in our lives.
