Ezekiel 33:16 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:16

None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned
unto him
Imputed to him; placed to his account; charged upon him, or ever be spoke of to him, either now, or at the day of judgment, by way of accusation and complaint, or to his condemnation: he hath done that which is lawful and right;
has repented of his sin; looked to Christ by faith for the pardon of it; and laid hold on his righteousness for his justification; and being influenced and assisted by the grace of God, has done that which is right and good in the sight of God and man: he shall surely live;
he now lives a life of faith and holiness; he shall continue to live, and persevere to the end, and inherit eternal life; see ( Ezekiel 18:21 Ezekiel 18:22 ) .

Ezekiel 33:16 In-Context

14 And even if I have pronounced a death sentence on the wicked, if they turn from sin and do what is just and right—
15 if they return pledges, make restitution for robbery, and walk in life-giving regulations in order not to sin—they will live and not die.
16 None of the sins they've committed will be remembered against them. They've done what is just and right, and they will live.
17 Yet your people say, "My Lord's way doesn't measure up." Isn't it their ways that don't measure up?
18 When the righteous turn from their righteousness to do wrong, they will die because of it.
