SEV Biblia, Chapter 36:31
Y os acordaréis de vuestros malos caminos, y de vuestras obras que no fueron buenas; y os avergonzaréis de vosotros mismos por vuestras iniquidades, y por vuestras abominaciones.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:31
Verse 31. Then shall ye remember your own evil ways] Ye shall never forget that ye were once slaves of sin, and sold under sin; children of the wicked one; heirs to all God's curses, with no hope beyond hell. Such cleansed people never forget the horrible pit and the miry clay out of which they have been brought. And can they then be proud? No; they loathe themselves in their own sight. They never forgive themselves for having sinned against so good a God, and so loving a saviour. And can they undervalue HIM by whose blood they were bought, and by whose blood they were cleansed? No! That is impossible: they now see Jesus as they ought to see him; they see him in his splendour, because they feel him in his victory and triumph over sin. To them that thus believe he is precious, and he was never so precious as now. As to their not needing him when thus saved from their sins, we may as well say, as soon may the creation not need the sustaining hand of God, because the works are finished! Learn this, that as it requires the same power to sustain creation as to produce it, so it requires the same Jesus who cleansed to keep clean. They feel that it is only through his continued indwelling, that they are kept holy, and happy, and useful. Were he to leave them the original darkness and kingdom of death would soon be restored.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The land shall be delivered from heathen oppressors. (Ezek. 36:1-15 The people are reminded of former sins, and promised deliverance (Ezek. 36:16-24) Also holiness, and gospel blessings. (Ezek. 36:25-38) Ezek. 36:1-15 Those who put contempt and reproach on God's people, wil have them turned on themselves. God promises favour to his Israel. We have no reason to complain, if the more unkind men are, the more kin God is. They shall come again to their own border. It was a type of the heavenly Canaan, of which all God's children are heirs, and into whic they all shall be brought together. And when God returns in mercy to people who return to him in duty, all their grievances will be se right. The full completion of this prophecy must be in some futur event.
Ezek. 36:16-24 The restoration of that people, being typical of ou redemption by Christ, shows that the end aimed at in our salvation is the glory of God. The sin of a people defiles their land; renders i abominable to God, and uncomfortable to themselves. God's holy name in his great name; his holiness is his greatness, nor does any thing els make a man truly great.
Ezek. 36:25-38 Water is an emblem of the cleansing our polluted soul from sin. But no water can do more than take away the filth of the flesh. Water seems in general the sacramental sign of the sanctifyin influences of the Holy Ghost; yet this is always connected with the atoning blood of Christ. When the latter is applied by faith to the conscience, to cleanse it from evil works, the former is always applie to the powers of the soul, to purify it from the pollution of sin. All that have an interest in the new covenant, have a new heart and a ne spirit, in order to their walking in newness of life. God would give heart of flesh, a soft and tender heart, complying with his holy will Renewing grace works as great a change in the soul, as the turning dead stone into living flesh. God will put his Spirit within, as Teacher, Guide, and Sanctifier. The promise of God's grace to fit u for our duty, should quicken our constant care and endeavour to do ou duty. These are promises to be pleaded by, and will be fulfilled to all true believers in every age __________________________________________________________________
