How do we know God's grace is available for sinners?

God's grace is profoundly illustrated in the parable of the lost son, where the father eagerly welcomes back his wayward son despite his reckless behavior. This reflects the heart of God towards sinners, as He does not deny His mercy or love even when we stray. The father’s eager reception, characterized by compassion and joy, indicates the nature of God's grace, which is not contingent upon our worthiness but flows from His sovereign love. As stated in the sermon, the joy in heaven over a sinner repenting emphasizes that grace is extended not just as a concept, but as an active work of God in the lives of those who are lost.
