"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!"

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!"

Yes, the Scriptures suggest that God holds us accountable not only for our own lives but also for how we impact others—especially regarding their souls.

Here are some key biblical principles that support this idea:

1. Watchmen Are Accountable – Ezekiel 3:17–19

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman... When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them... I will hold you accountable for their blood.” (Ezekiel 3:18)

This passage makes it clear that silence in the face of sin makes us responsible. When we know the truth but fail to warn others, God says we are held accountable.

2. The Great Commission – Matthew 28:19–20

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”

Yeshua commands all His followers to go and teach others. Obedience to this command shows we are faithful stewards of the gospel.

If we ignore this calling, we may be failing in our duty toward the souls of others.

3. Responsibility in Teaching – James 3:1

“Not many of you should become teachers... because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.”

If we teach others wrongly or fail to guide them toward truth, we are held responsible for misleading souls.

4. Bear One Another’s Burdens – Galatians 6:1–2

“If someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently…”

We are expected to help others back to righteousness. Ignoring a brother or sister in sin is spiritual neglect.

5. Cain’s Mistake – “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” – Genesis 4:9

“Am I my brother’s keeper?”

This rhetorical question from Cain, after killing Abel, echoes a deeper truth:

We are responsible for the well-being of others—especially spiritually.
