Ezekiel 18:25-32 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
The following is From 1Corinthians_15
Ezekiel 18:25-32 is laying this out for us when it says "Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin." Because God takes "no pleasure in the death of him that dieth". He does not want you to die but live. The devil wants you to die so he will tell you that you do not have to repent.
The Modern Christians try to use some of the words of Paul to insinuate that all you have to do is believe that Christ died and has saved you and what you do does not matter. They are picking little quotes of Paul out of context so that they do not have to Repent, Seek, strive and do the will of the Father even though Christ said we do. They tell people they are saved because they believe Jesus is the Christ and he died for us.
The Modern Christians cling to a no works persona philosophy and their sin remains. We do agree with Ezekiel 18:25-32 and God's way is equal because it contains mercy. God does not require we pay back for all the evil we have done but he does require that we repent, forgive and seek to do the will o the Father.
The prodigal son would not have been forgiven by his Father if he did not change his way and return with full intent to do the will o his Father and neither will the Modern Christians. They have accepted a false do nothing false gospel and when they are shown how they have sought unrighteous iniquitous ways that Christ said made the word of God to none effect they refuse to repent. Despite what their false pastor prophets tell them about being saved they will surely die.
The gospel tells us the kingdom of heaven and the right to be ruled by God instead of the gods many of the [world] is within our reach if we will repent, forgive and seek to live by the righteous ways of Christ.

Jesus' kingdom was not a part of the world. And our religion should not be a spotted by that world.
The devil believes in who Christ is but he does not want to do what Christ said to do that you might be saved. He certainly does not want you to repent. He wants you to think there is nothing you have to do to be saved. These people, these brothers, Paul is writing have already repented and are seeking the kingdom. Many Modern Christians have not repented and even think they do not have to change.
They do not really live in the world but of it. They do not know why Jesus said His kingdom was not of the world not do they know why they were told that their religion to be pure was not supposed to be spotted by the world.
