EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DECISIONS
“‘What?’ you ask. ‘Doesn’t the child pay for the parent’s sins?’ No! For if the child does what is just and right and keeps my decrees, that child will surely live. The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness. (Ezequiel 18:19-20 NLT)
How come in the same group of friends you can find one that is unsuccessful and another that is blessed?
Because everything we do has good or bad consequences and each of us will have to take responsibility for our actions.
I won’t pay for your sins and you won’t pay for mine.
We have all received the knowledge of the ten commandments, but some will decide to obey them and others will choose to ignore them, and from there each will have their own consequences.

Think about it:
Do you consult God before making a decision?
Based on your decisions, what consequences are you having?
Are you obeying or ignoring God’s commandments?
