And not received usury or increase,
But has executed My judgments
And walked in My statutes—
He shall not die for the iniquity of his father;
He shall surely live!
Because he cruelly oppressed,
Robbed his brother by violence,
And did what is not good among his people,
Behold, ahe shall die for his iniquity.
Turn and Live

Ezekiel 18:19-20
That is pretty clear, is it not? If we want to live, we quit sinning, that is the responsibility.
Sin is the individual's responsibility and sin will stop when the individual makes it his responsibility to stop it in himself. That is what I have been saying and teaching lately—this issue of self-government. Self-government is not making up your own rules and governing yourself. Self-government is governing yourself, controlling yourself, disciplining yourself, within the framework of God's law so that we do not sin, so that we keep the commands, so that we do these responsibilities and God has given the authority for us to manage those responsibilities. That's governing yourself. So, sin will stop when we meet that responsibility.
