Church Accountability | Accountability series 2

By Pastor Dennis Williams

Despite the fact that God is sovereign, all people are responsible to him for whatever they do, say, or think.

In those days, there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.  Judges 21:25

People are responsible for their own sins
God is not responsible for human sin Deut 24:16; Eze 18:4 Also see: Job 19:4; Ps 51:4-5; Jer 31:30; Eze 18:20; 33:1-20; Ro 6:23

Death is the result of sin Ro 5:12; 6:23 See also Ge 3:1-7; Isa 43:27; Eze 18:4; 1Co 15:21-22

The law heightens human responsibility for sin
It brings knowledge of sin Ro 5:20 Because the law brings knowledge of sin, it prevents people from claiming ignorance of the nature and seriousness of that sin. Also see: Ro 7:7-9; Gal 3:19

It applies not only to actions but also to words and thoughts. Mt 5:22,28 Also see: Jer 17:9-10; Mt 15:18-19

It brings judgment Ecc 12:14; Mt 12:36-37; 1Co 4:5 Also see: Job 15:5-6; Ro 2:16; 14:12; 2Co 5:10; 1Pe 4:5; Jude 15

Ignorance does not remove responsibility
Lev 5:17 Also see: Lk 12:48; Ac 3:17-19; Ro 1:20

The responsibility of humanity to repent and believe.
It is commanded by God Ac 17:30 Also see: Eze 18:30; Mt 4:17; Mk 1:15; 6:12; Lk 24:46-47

Jesus Christ’s life and ministry heightens the responsibility to repent Jn 3:18; 15:22 Also see: Mt 11:20-24; 12:41-42 pp Lk 11:31-32; Jn 12:48


Lord Jesus, I believe you are the son of God, and you died for my sins and rose again from the dead, I trust you for cleansing and forgiveness, and you have received me as a Child of God. If there is any resentment or unforgiveness for anyone, I lay it at your feet and ask you to forgive me. I ask your forgiveness for being involved in other religions, witchcraft, or the occult seeking other gods. I acknowledge this as sin and loose myself right now in Jesus name. And now, Lord Jesus, I come to and yield my body, mind, and spirit to you. I give you my all. I surrender my tongue to you to be an instrument of righteousness to worship you in a new language. By faith, I receive it now, Lord in Jesus name. Amen.
