Bible Texts: Lk.15:11-18, Ps.51:1-10, Lam.3:22, Rom.6:1, 2Cor.5:17, Rom.12:1-3, Jn.3:16, Heb.13:8, Ps.1:1-3, 1Jn.5:17, Philp.2:13
Over the past few days, we have been focusing on how the husbandman can strengthen his relationship with God through Jesus Christ. And that no matter how far away the husbandman may have strayed, there is hope of restoration if he can only believe. And today, we want to consider how real the father’s love is towards the husbandman.
Our Bible reading is taken from Luke Gospel chapter 15.
I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee (Lk.15:18)
The Scripture in Luke chapter 15 tells the action the way-ward son of the rich man took while he lived a sinful life. The son realized that he had wronged his father. He discovered he had disobeyed and gone against the will of his father. Rather than remain in that sinful life, he said to himself, “I will arise and go to my father”. He arose and went back to the waiting hand of his father, who restored him. That is what God wants from you.
God wants to restore you back to sonship-a life of honour, dignity and responsibility. God wants you to live a righteous life and do what He commands you to do as the good and godly man, husband and father. God doesn’t hate you, He only hates the sin and the sinful life you are living.
But why will God love me despite my sinful life?
For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son; and whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life (Jn.3:16)
God’s love for you is not negotiable. He loved you yesterday. He still loves you today and He will continue to love you till eternity. His loving kindness is ever new and He wants you to return to Him.
I know that you are ready to return to God through Jesus Christ for the restoration of your life. I want you to please, pray the prayer in Psalms 51 from verses 1 to the end.
As you return to your heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, in sincere repentance, you must never allow satan and the world to blackmail you by reminding you of your past. You must be conscious of your new life in Christ (Rom.8:1, 2Cor.5:17).
Glory be to Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
