Show All Her Abominations

"Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations."  Ezekiel 22:1-2.  God's prophet or preacher has but one responsibility.  That is to receive the word of the Lord and show us our abominations.  The judgment of the sinner is passed with the message of the Lord.  The gospel, which is the word of the Lord, is to make sin known.  God judges the transgressions of humanity.  The message that He sends through His prophets is to make His judgment known.  The message of the Lord also reveals how God can be turned from His judgement.  When one is willing to hear the word of the Lord and turn from his bloody or evil way, the Lord is willing to forgive and turn from judgment.  Just as God judges transgression, so God in love and grace offers His forgiveness.  Sin must be shown.  Judgment must be revealed.  This is the calling of the prophet.  Unless one turns from his bloody way, God will recompense judgment for all the abominations that one commits.
