PROOF THE PRODIGAL SON WAS UNSAVED..

HE BACKSLID FROM A STATE

OF REPENTANCE ....

NOT FROM THE STATE OF SALVATION

 

 

The Parable of the Prodigal Son

K.J.V.

Luke 15:

 

11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:

12 And the younger of them said to his father,

Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.

And he divided unto them his living.

13 And not many days after the younger son gathered

all together, and took his journey into a far country,

and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty

famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of

that country; and he sent him into his fields to

feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly

with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man

gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself,

he said, How many hired servants of my father's

have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,

Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son:

make me as one of thy hired servants.

20 And he arose, and came to his father.

But when he was yet a great way off,

his father saw him, and had compassion,

and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

21 And the son said unto him, Father,

I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight,

and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

22 But the father said to his servants,

Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him;

and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it;

and let us eat, and be merry:

24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again;

he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

 

25 Now his elder son was in the field:

and as he came and drew nigh to the house,

he heard musick and dancing.

26 And he called one of the servants,

and asked what these things meant.

27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come;

and thy father hath killed the fatted calf,

because he hath received him safe and sound.

28 And he was angry, and would not go in:

therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

29 And he answering said to his father,

Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither

transgressed I at any time thy commandment:

and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that

I might make merry with my friends:

30 But as soon as this thy son was come,

which hath devoured thy living with harlots,

thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever

with me, and all that I have is thine.

32 It was meet that we should make merry,

and be glad: for this thy brother was dead,

and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

 

THE PRODIGAL SON WAS NEVER SAVED...

HE WAS UNDER REPENTANCE- TO FALLEN REPENTANCE.

 

... HE KNEW OF THE WORD...

JUST LIKE THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS,

JUST LIKE THE LUKE WARM CHURCH OF LAODICEA

JUST LIKE THE INDIVIDUALS OF:

 

HEBREWS 6:1-8

UNDER REPENTANCE:

NOT SOUL SALVATION..

 

THESE KNOW THE WORD ... THEY HAVE TASTED OF..

BUT DID NOT DRINK

THEY KNOW THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT...

BUT HAVE NOT COME INTO SOUL SALVATION

 

THE PRODIGAL SON

32 It was meet that we should make merry,

and be glad: for this thy brother was dead,

and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

 

ALIVE AGAIN= BORN AGAIN...

and we do not get Born Again twice...

our salvatoion is solid as a rock...

its secure in the Lord.

 

THE PRODIGAL SON

was lost, and is found.

was dead, and is alive again;

 

WE GO FROM DEATH TO BORN AGAIN....

ALIVE AGAIN... BORN AGAIN.. AMEN

 

 

ALSO THERE IS A CORRELATION

HERE IN THE GOOD SHEPHERD

24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again;

he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

 

Luke 15

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep,

if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety

and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which

is lost, until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it,

he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together

his friends and neighbours, saying unto them,

Rejoice with me;

for I have found my sheep which was lost.

 

 

 

ONCE WAS LOST ...DEAD BUT NOW

IS FOUND.... ALIVE AGAIN OR BORN AGAIN...

REPENTANCE UNTO  COMING  HOME : 

 

HOME IS TO HAVE COME TO JESUS* :

HE IS OUR PLACE OF REST

OUR ETERNAL REFUGE OUR HOME...

 

THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND THE

FATHER OF THE PRODIGAL

BOTH REJOICING... MADE MERRY...

FRIENDS WERE NOTIFIED... OF THIS..

ITS NEWS WORTHY ITS WORTHY

OF CELEBRATION....

 

Likewise, HEAVEN IS STIRRED TO

REJOICING WHEN ONE SINNER

COMES HOME.. HALLELUJAH*

 

.. 

7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over

one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety

and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

 

 

WE OFTEN SEE THE PRODIGAL

SON AS BACKSLIDDEN...

FROM SOUL SALVATION

BUT THE DEEPER REALITY IS ACTUALLY

BACK SLID FROM REPENTANCE. ...

 

And for that we must look at

the five foolish virgins...

and or the luke warm church...

including those individuals of Hebrews 6:1-8]

All these mentioned are lost, dead...

they are not found..

not alive again...not born again...not saved. 

 

THESE IN A STATE OF REPENTANCE WITHOUT

HURDLING INTO OR WITHOUT TAKING THE LEAP

OF FAITH INTO SALVATION... ARE STILL LOST.

 

THESE BACK-SLIDDEN

FROM THE PLACE OF

......ALMOST .....COMING TO JESUS*

THE WORD SHOWS SOME SLIDE

AWAY....

WITHOUT EVER RETURNING

TO REPENTANCE. /  *

UNTO SALVATION...

 

ALSO THE BROTHER OF THE PRODIGAL SON

SAYS to his father,

all these  years  I served you

at no time did I transgress your 

commandment:

and you never gave  me a calf so I

might make merry with my friends:

But as soon as this this son comes home from

being with harlots you celebrate him 

.. ITS NOT FAIR...

 

AND JUST AS JESUS SAID:

 

 Luke 15:

7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be

in heaven over one sinner

that repenteth,

more than

over ninety and nine just persons,

which need no repentance.

 

HOW FITTING WHAT A CORRELATION...

THE PRODIGAL SON WAS NOT SAVED..

HE WAS A FENCE RIDER:

IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION.

HE TURNED AND WENT THE OTHER WAY...

 

HE HAD ALL HE NEEDED KNOWLEDGE WISE

BUT HE IS THE ONE THAT NEEDED TO TAKE

THE PLUNGE INTO THE LIVING WATER.

HE NEEDED A RIGHT REPENTIVE HEART TO

TAKE THE LEAP OF FAITH..[ TO JESUS* AMEN

 

 

 

We have all made reference to the prodigal

son as like to a Christian ; one Born -Again

One Saved an backslidden  like the prodigal son..

When we do that...

although it may display some similarities ..

its not completely factual..

AMEN..

 

BECAUSE ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED...is the WORD.

AN THERE ARE MANY SCRIPTURES ON THAT

BLESSED ASSURANCE..

 

SO ONE THAT IS SAVED MAY FALL...

BUT THEY ARE NOT LOST AGAIN,

DEAD AGAIN, THEN ALIVE AGAIN- AGAIN

AS IN MEANING:

BORN AGAIN- AGAIN...  .

.. THANK YOU AND PRAISE YOU JESUS.*

 

SAVED IF ONE FALLS... THERE IS A GREAT PRICE

TO PAY... READ THE FULL STORY OF

DAVID AND BATHSHEBA AND ALL THE CURSE THAT

CAME UPON DAVIDS  FAMILY; HIS HOUSE FOR MANY YEARS

TO COME...

IT SUFFERED MUCH HEARTACHE , SHAME, DEATH

AND GREAT ANGUISH...SIN IS COSTLY..

 

SAVED WE ARE GODS BUSINESS... HIS CHILDREN...

AND HE IS MORE CAPABLE OF WATCHING OVER HIS

AND GETTING THEM HOME...

THAN AN EARTHLY PARENT CAN IMAGINE ... AMEN

 

TRUST GOD

TODAY IS THE DAY OF 

SALVATION...

JESUS* SAVES

COME NOW... 

AS YOU ARE

OF SINCERE HEART
