Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

None of the transgressions he has committed will be held against him.
This phrase emphasizes the concept of divine forgiveness and the possibility of a fresh start. In the context of Ezekiel, the Israelites were in exile due to their collective disobedience and idolatry. This statement reassures them that individual repentance and righteousness can lead to forgiveness. Theologically, this reflects the principle found inPsalm 103:12, where God removes transgressions "as far as the east is from the west." It also prefigures the New Testament teaching of forgiveness through Christ, as seen in 1John 1:9, where confession leads to cleansing from unrighteousness. The idea of not holding past sins against someone is a profound expression of grace, which is central to the Christian faith.

Because of the righteousness he has practiced,
This phrase highlights the importance of personal responsibility and the active pursuit of righteousness. In the historical context, Ezekiel was addressing a people who believed in collective guilt and punishment. This statement shifts the focus to individual accountability, a theme also found inDeuteronomy 24:16, which states that children should not be punished for the sins of their parents. The righteousness mentioned here is not merely legalistic adherence to the law but a genuine transformation of heart and behavior. This anticipates the New Testament teaching inJames 2:17, where faith without works is dead, emphasizing that true faith results in righteous actions.

he will live.
The promise of life here is both literal and spiritual. In the immediate context, it suggests that those who turn from their wicked ways and practice righteousness will be spared from the consequences of sin, which often led to death or exile. Spiritually, this points to the abundant life promised by Jesus inJohn 10:10, where He speaks of giving life to the full. Theologically, this can be seen as a type of eternal life offered through Christ, who is the ultimate source of life (John 14:6). The assurance of life for the righteous is a recurring theme in Scripture, reinforcing the hope and promise of salvation for those who follow God's ways.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(22)Shall not be mentioned unto him.--A strong way of expressing the completeness of the Divine forgiveness. Here, again, at first sight, there seems to be an inconsistency between the Divine promise and the actual facts of the world. The penitent and forgiven sinner is continually seen to suffer through life from the consequences of his sin, as David's whole reign was overclouded with trouble and sorrow after his great sin in the matter of Bathsheba and Uriah. But here also it is the natural law continuing to work in subservience to a higher moral law. The natural consequences of any acts are not changed, or are only partially modified, by the subsequent moral state of him who has done them; but that moral state determines whether those consequences, however painful they may be in themselves, shall or shall not be really for his own highest gain. The absoluteness of the Divine forgiveness is seen by us, under the Christian dispensation, to be a necessary result of the ground on which it rests--the atonement of Christ. If the believer is truly united to Him by faith, he is a new creature (2Corinthians 5:17), and is looked upon no longer as a sinful son of Adam, but, as he is in reality, a member of the beloved and only-begotten Son of God. Hence his forgiveness must be complete, for his sins are atoned for, covered up, hidden from God's sight.
