This article discusses the role and task of the preacher based on the text Ezekiel 33. What does it mean to be a minister? Among other things, the minister is to deliver a message of warning, but also one of hope and salvation.

God will hold false preachers accountable for the blood of unbelieving sinners (Ezekiel 3:18-19, Ezekiel 33:7-9). Minsters have a serious calling to warn the congregation to repent. The first priority of ministry is the salvation of sinners from hell.
