LESSON 2: THE CONDITION OF SALVATION
LESSON 2: THE CONDITION OF SALVATION LESSON 2: THE CONDITION OF SALVATION I. REPENTANCE INTRODUCTION (LUKE 15:11-32)
11Jesus continued: There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, Father, give me my share of the estate. So he divided his property between them. Luke 15:11-32
13Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. Luke 15:11-32
14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. Luke 15:11-32
16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 When he came to his senses, he said, How many of my father s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! Luke 15:11-32
18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. Luke 15:11-32
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men. 20 So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; Luke 15:11-32
he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21 The son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Luke 15:11-32
22But the father said to his servants, Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let s have a feast and celebrate. Luke 15:11-32
24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. Luke 15:11-32
25Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. Luke 15:11-32
27Your brother has come, he replied, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound. 28 The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. Luke 15:11-32
29But he answered his father, Look! All these years I ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. Luke 15:11-32
30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him! Luke 15:11-32
31My son, the father said, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. Luke 15:11-32
