LOVE, TRUST AND OBEDIENCE!
The story of the prodigal son and his seemingly faithful elder brother is thought provoking. There are important lessons to learn from both of them in relation to our current walk with God, our Heavenly Father.
While the notoriously irresponsible younger brother, who's tagged the prodigal son demonstrated TRUST and CONFIDENCE in his father to give him whatever he asked for, his resolve to leave home, against the father's approval, abandon his family duties and responsibilities and brought disgrace to the family's disciplined culture and impeccable reputation portrayed rebellion and outright disobedience.
The eldest son, on the other hand, OBEYED their father in all he was asked and commanded to do, taking good care of the family business diligently and in good behavior, but wouldn't TRUST his father to give him whatever he wanted that was already his as heir! Luke 15:11-32.
Both broke the father's heart. One by his disobedience and irresponsibility and the other by his lack of faith and confidence. Nevertheless, as any good father, he FORGAVE, CORRECTED and ACCEPTED them, retaining their heirship, place and confidence as his sons and not servants.
Whenever those who're born again through Christ Jesus truly repent, acknowledge our weaknesses and put our confidence on God's Word and covenant, we're restored to complete fellowship with our Heavenly Father. Our ABSOLUTE TRUST and PROMPT OBEDIENCE to God's Word is the only proof of our PASSIONATE LOVE for God though we haven't seen Him physically. Hallelujah!
