die in his iniquity
Ezekiel 33:9
33:9 die in his iniquity. The ungodly man who fails to hear the gospel is headed for hell—not because he did not hear and so does not know how to be saved, but because of his rejection of the witness of God in nature and conscience (Romans 1:20; 2:15). His ungodly behavior is evidence enough that he has refused whatever light was available, and he is “without excuse.” He cannot blame disobedient watchmen for not warning him.
