What does the Bible say about God bringing rebels home?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates God's grace in bringing rebels home through the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:20.

In Luke 15:20, we see the powerful truth of redemption as the prodigal son returns to his father. It is essential to understand that while the son arose and came back, it was ultimately God who caused him to do so, as indicated in the father’s compassion upon seeing him from a distance. This passage exemplifies how God draws sinners to Himself through His sovereign grace, showing that it is God’s initiative that leads the wayward home. As Psalm 65 tells us, 'Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest,' highlighting God’s active role in the salvation of sinners. Without God's intervention, the inclination to return would not exist, as those who are lost in sin cannot seek Him unless He first seeks them.
