We have a much better inheritance than “earthly goods” that does not run out; the Father gives us an inheritance of eternal life in Christ in full. When we believe on the Lord Jesus as our Savior, we receive life eternal and all that He died for us to have.
When we try to find acceptance and pleasure in the world, we will eventually be disappointed and left in total lack spiritually.The things of this world are not life-giving and will leave you feeling empty. Though they may satisfy you for a season, eventually what the world offers fades in its appeal and satisfaction.
When we choose our way over God’s way and follow our selfish and fleshly desires, we become a slave to our sin once again and end up living in filth.We don’t recognize our enslaved condition, but when we give into temptation, choosing our selfish desires, we trade the beauty of the Kingdom for the dirt of the pigpen.
This filth, or “pigpen,” is no place for a child of God to be fed spiritually.We will undoubtedly become spiritually weak, starving for hope, and desperate to fill our hunger with anything that will take the pain away. The “food” of the pigpen will only leave us hungrier and more desperate – which hopefully we’ll drive us back into the arms of our Lord and Savior.
The Lord our God rejoices in the sinner that humbly repents and seeks forgiveness. The father of the prodigal son celebrates the return of his lost son, restoring him with clothing and food in a joyous celebration.
