The Prodigal People

About this episode

Share a comment

In Romans 3:12, the apostle Paul continues his list of indictments against humanity with a sobering claim: “All have turned aside.” That one phrase reveals the spiritual condition of every person: deliberate defiance, willful wandering, and increasing moral decay.

In this episode, Stephen Davey explains how sin doesn’t just happen to us. It’s the path we choose. We avoid the truth, we redefine goodness, and we substitute spiritual imitation for genuine repentance. Whether it’s the prodigal son feeding pigs or a modern culture redefining evil as good, the pattern hasn’t changed. But neither has God’s mercy. The truth hurts, but it also heals. This lesson prepares the way for understanding the beauty of salvation by helping you see just how far we’ve all gone from the path; and how far God has gone to bring us back.
