lessons from the prodigal son

Content: While the father could restore his son to full fellowship, he could not restore the squandered inheritance. With its loss, the prodigal son would one day be accountable to his older brother and would work under his direction. He would have many opportunities to demonstrate his change of heart with meekness and diligence. The evidences of repentance that are presented here express deep humility, which God rewards with grace. ( See James 4:6). “ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (I John 1:9). This material was adapted from pages 23–24 of the Basic Seminar Follow-Up Course. Hide
