    He Went to His Father's

    House and Begged His Father's Forgiveness

    (Continued) šŸ‘‡ He went to his father's house and begged his father's forgiveness. When his father saw him, he felt sorry for him and ran to hug him. The father also ordered his servants to slaughter a fat cow and eat it. Let's rejoice because that lost son of mine has been found. My son who I said was dead has been saved and put a ring on his finger and shoes for his feet. The word "shoe" means "teach him religion, teach him the gospel, preach to him." This is a great example, those who were at home did not sin. The prodigal son means the one who committed a sin, and the father is God our father, he accepted and kissed him, it means he died for him, Frieda killed means he gave them his holy body and his precious blood. Therefore, our questioner, you must realize above all else that while it is good if we do not commit sin, if we do, our last option and the way to be reconciled with God is repentance. Basically, there will never be a sin that has never been committed by a human being, and we are asking you to understand that what happened to you is a type of sin that a person commits and is forgiven in a life of repentance. In general, we recommend the following to solve your problem: - Father of Repentance: Repentance is done through fathers and priests who have been given priesthood authority by God to be shepherds of souls, so there should be no shameful or unspeakable secret to tell your repentant father, so we say you should dare to tell your sin. And God is not a God of fear, but a God of love and peace, who raises up those who have fallen in sin and says, "Take heart, my son," and find us where we are lost. Therefore, somehow fight and get rid of the evil spirit that opposes you and come closer to repentance. Instead, what scares us and makes us feel naked is living in sin, and what hides our shame before our God is not clothes, but repentance. Spiritual clothing is honor and covers privacy. Even if we live in a beautiful house in the clothes of the flesh, if we do not repent, our soul will be naked. - Delaying and aggravating fear for reasons is one of Satan's battles, and God is not the God of fear, but the God of love and peace. He is the God who lifts up those who have fallen in sin, "Courage my son" and find us where we are lost. There should be no other matter before our souls, so fight the spirit that opposes you somehow and overcome it. Since the day of salvation is now, approach the repentant father without extending the appointment date and time. Even if you believe that you have committed so many sins, there is no wrongdoing that cannot be erased by God, so we advise you to stay away from reason and fear and come closer to the forgiving God. This family of ours has told us the truth. The sin we are used to becomes a family, at first when we do it, it shocks us, it makes us sad, then as we practice it, it becomes a family. May God give us our hearts, may God lead us to repentance, may God make us hate sin, may God make us love what he loves. No matter what happens, everything is possible with God, nothing is impossible, it is difficult to live apart from God, sin can be overcome by using God as power. May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always May God's mother, the virgin, and the cross remain glorious, Amen.
