Read Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7; and Romans 1:18-23. How has humanity rejected God as Source and Provider? In what ways does mankind act as sole master and judge of his own destiny? According to Romans 1:28-32, what are the consequences? (See also Genesis 3:8-24)
When he decided to return to his father the disposition of the prodigal son is described as “he came to himself” (Luke 15:17, ESV). Bible teacher R.C. Sproul comments on this verse, “He came to himself, but not by himself.” The theological term for coming to one’s self (or senses) is “regeneration.” What insights to the following scriptures provide as to how this happens?
Romans 3:10-18—
2 Corinthians 4:4-6—
Hebrews 11:6—
1 John 1:8-10—
Ephesians 2:4-10—
Titus 3:5—
Just as the prodigal son’s longing “to eat his fill from the carob pods” ultimately led him to return home, God uses our longings to point us to Christ. What promise does Jesus make in John 7:37-38?
