alive !

Luke 15-11 thru 32 Simple English
version.
11. Then Jesus said, ``A man
had two sons.
12. The younger son said to his father, `Father, give me
my part of all our holdings!' So, the father divided the property with his
two sons.
13. Not long afterward, the younger son gathered up all that
he had and left. He traveled far away to another country. There the son
wasted his money like a fool;
14. he spent everything he had. Then the
land became very dry, and it did not rain. There was not enough food to
eat anywhere in that country. He began to starve.
15. So, he went and
got a job with one of the important men of that country. The man sent him
into the fields to feed pigs.
16. The boy was so hungry, that he
wanted to stuff himself with the food which the pigs were eating. No one
was giving him anything.
17. Finally, the boy realized that he had
been very foolish. He thought, `All of my father's servants have plenty of
food, yet here I am about to die, because I have nothing to eat.
18. I
will get up and go to my father. I will say to him: ``Father, I sinned
against God and in front of you.
19. I'm not worthy to be called your
son anymore. Treat me as one of your paid servants.' ''
20. So, the son
got up and went to his father.''
21. The son said, `Father, I sinned
against God and in front of you. I'm not worthy to be called your son
anymore.'
22. But the father said to his servants, `Hurry! Bring the
best robe and dress him. Put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet,
too.
23. Bring our fattened calf. We will kill it and have plenty to
eat. Then we can have a party!
24. My son was dead, but now he is
alive again. He was lost, but now he is found!' So, they began to
celebrate.''
25. ``The older son was in the field. As he came closer to
the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing.
26. So, the older
son called to one of the servant boys and asked, `What does all this
mean?'
27. The servant said, `Your brother has come back. Your father
killed the fattened calf . , because your brother came back home safely!'
28. The older son was angry and wouldn't go inside to the party. So,
his father went out to beg him to come in.
29. But the son said to his
father, `Look, I have served you like a slave for many years! I have
obeyed every one of your commands, but you never even killed a goat for
me, so that I could have a party with my friends.
30. But this other
son of yours has wasted all of your money on whores. Then he comes home
and you kill the fattened calf for him!'
31. But the father said to
him, `Son, you are always with me. All that I have is yours.
32. We
must be happy and celebrate, because your brother was dead, but now he is
alive. He was lost, but now he is found!' ''

...I don't care what you have
done in the past. You are forgiven. God sees nothing after salvation except
a person covered with the blood of Jesus. If you have backslidden and feel
your on your way to hell, just ask for forgiveness and you are forgiven.
This scripture we just read is one of my favorites. It is typical as to how
we are supposed to be toward our children. We can't always agree with what
our children do, but we must love them and be ready to welcome them back
when they realize the mistakes they have made.
...The heavenly father sent
Jesus to take the sins of the world for us. hats why if you have gotten
away from the will of God and have made the wrong decisions in life you
can come back to the Lord and say , Father I was wrong and foolish please
forgive me. That is all it takes. The Bible says to confess your sin and
believe in your heart, that you are saved. Tag you are saved and forgiven,
no more turning back, your on your way to heaven. Your sins are washed away. Your
a child of God. You were bought with a price, the blood of
Jesus.

and I pray that this study has blessed you today !
