Why does God urge sinners to turn and live?

Answered in 1 source

God urges sinners to turn and live because He desires their repentance and to avoid the consequences of sin, emphasizing His mercy and love (Ezekiel 18:32).

God's exhortation for sinners to turn and live reveals His desire for humanity to find life in Him rather than perish in their sins. In Ezekiel 18:32, God highlights His unwillingness to see the wicked perish, instead inviting them to repent and embrace the mercy that He offers. This appeal reflects God's nature as a loving Father who seeks the restoration of His creation. The urgency of His call is underscored by the recognition that turning from sin is a matter of both spiritual and eternal life. God's patience in extending this plea to sinners underscores His compassionate character, showing that even in judgment, His heart desires salvation.
