Praying The Words of Confession
From Luke 15:17-22, the story of the prodigal son teaches about repentance and seeking forgiveness. It explores the journey of recognizing sin, expressing remorse, and receiving forgiveness. Through examples like Pharaoh, Balaam, and Achan, the concept of admitting wrongdoing is highlighted. The contrast between acknowledging sin and refusing to do so, as seen in King Saul's story, shows the importance of humility and repentance in spiritual growth.
