NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE…
You have ALWAYS been the object of the love which flows from God’s Father Heart toward His creation. (John 3:16)
Does God still love the world today as much as when He gave
“His only begotten Son” to become the savior of the “World?”
The parable of the prodigal son is a snapshot of God’s loving heart for His creation. This POV provoked the religious people of Jesus’ day, and STILL provokes the religious crowd of our day.
All creation is held together in Christ, and if separated from Him, would cease to exist. (Col. 1:17)
Our religion has taught us that only some people are actually loved & accepted by God; those who have jumped through the right hoops. The others can become loved by God if they jump through the right hoops too. This sets up a barrier that those who are addicted to religion can hide behind. “I’ve jumped through the right hoops to gain God’s love & acceptance…they can jump through the right hoops too to gain God’s love & acceptance too.”
Becoming a child of God (through believing/trust/faith) speaks about the “Way of your being”(expression of your life) not the “Truth of your being” which is the Core Truth of your Identity.
Existential Experience (the Expression of your Life- which is how you act in the moment) compared to Ontological Reality (Your Core Identity which God establishes).
What about “you’re of your father the devil?” Was Jesus saying they were demons? Or was it similar to when He said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan?” Was he saying Peter wasn’t a child of God? Was He saying the religious leaders were NOT children of Israel and God’s people? No, I don’t think so. He was saying, “The way you are acting is more like Satan’s children than God’s. Get your stuff together!”
