Accountable.
How many of us give account to what our boss commits to us.
Is there anyone who does not have to give account.
Romans 14:12
12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.
A Wicked man thinks - not accountable
Psalm 10:13
Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”
But some do the work out of fear.
Some out of passion towards, work.
Passion
Matthew 25:14-30
14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents,[b] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.
These 2 who had 5 and 2 talents had a passion, they were not lazy for the talents that was given to them, they went out, worked, put their passion to work and it produced fruit.
when they had to give account, they did not fear.
but when the 1 talent guy went , he was afraid,
when you love your authority, and Your accountability goes up.
Accountability as the head of the house.
Hebrews13:17
17 Obey those who [e]rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
This especially talks about Church, but any one who rules - has to give account of the souls
Suppose, a shepherd head of a flock, has to give account of the souls
similarly, as the head of the house, you have to give account for every soul under you.
If we know this truth, it completely changes our perspective of taking care of those under us.
Greater Accountability of the souls
Ezekiel 33. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
9 Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have [b]delivered your soul.
