It does not matter what you done son…just stop and come home…

God is pleading for you to stop sinning and come home. God wants and has provided everything you need to be a peace with Him and included in the family of God. You were baptized and raised with Jesus just stop your rebellion and come home. God will receive you…as it is written Therefore, come out from the midst of them and be separate," says the Lord, "and touch not the unclean, and I will receive you; And I shall be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters," says the Lord Almighty...2 Corinthians 6:17-18. Do you want an Almighty Father who will provide all that you need…then repent or stop and come home…


Then He said, "A certain man had two sons; And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me that portion of the property which falls to me.' And he divided to them his living. And not many days after, the younger son gathered everything together and departed into a distant country. And there he wasted all his substance, living in debauchery. But after he had spent everything, there arose a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need. Then he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he was longing to fill his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating, but no one gave anything to him. And when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread, and I am dying of hunger? I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; And I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants." ' And he arose and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran and embraced him, and ardently kissed him. And his son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servant, 'Bring out a robe, the best robe, and clothe him, and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet; And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry. For this my son was dead, but is alive again; and he was lost, but is found.' And they began to be merry. But his elder son was in a field; and when he was coming back, and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. And after calling one of the servants nearby, he inquired what these things might be. And he said to him, 'Your brother has come home, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him safe and well.' Then he was angry and would not go in. As a result, his father came out and pleaded with him. But he answered and said to his father, 'Behold, I have served you so many years, and never did I transgress your commandment; yet you never gave me a kid, so that I might make merry with my friends; But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed the fattened calf for him.' Then he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But it was fitting to make merry and rejoice because your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, but is found.' " ...Luke 15:11-32.

About Jesus of Nazareth…

but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows...Hebrews 1:8-9. though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation...Hebrews 5:8-9. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him...John 3:16-17. and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him...1 John 2:2-4.

 

Do you know God’s only Son Jesus the Christ of Nazareth…yes or no? Have you died to yourself and are living for Jesus after being baptized? Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead after having offered himself as a sacrifice for sin in the atoning work of salvation. Jesus is the propitiation or forever atoning sacrifice for our sinful or evil deeds.  All we who have been baptized need to do is stop our evil or sinful deeds and confess our sins and we have reconciliation with God our Father. Are you faithful to Jesus you staying in the will and working of God by keeping the commandments…Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one (Authority) : and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these....Mark 12:29-31.

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us and grant us repentance unto the confession of our evil or sinful deeds and meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal us from our own sinful pasts…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

We see Paul teaching the commandments…by Implication...

1.      Have no other God (no idolatry) (Col 3:5)

2.      Not take the name of God in vain (blasphemy) (1 Tim 1:20)

3.      Not to worship graven images (no idolatry) (Col 3:5)

4.      Keep yourself Holy (Gal 5:16) or as Jesus told the woman at the well walk in Spirit and Truth (John 4:23-24) so you may approach God anytime in worship or prayer. The Jew is they had not keep themselves Holy they had to offer a sacrifice…they would be in the sinner line offering the required sacrifice which usually was animals.

5.      Honor your mom and dad (Eph 6:2-3)

6.      Thou shall not murder (no anger or wrath) (Col 3:8)

7.      Thou shall not commit adultery (no fornication or sex only in marriage) (Col 3:5)

8.      Thou shall not bear false witness (lie not one to another) (Col 3:9)

9.      Thou shall not steal (Eph 4:28)

10.  Thou shall not covet (covetousness) (Col 3:5)


Not to mention Galatians list of sins…

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

...Galatians 5:19-21.
