Two different Sons The Bible says, “I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am”. The parable of the prodigal son shows us what grace is. In that story, father was just like God; the younger son referred to people who stayed far away from God, but eventually confessed his sins and back to God; the older son referred those who looked down others as sinners and self-righteousness. The two son had the same father and grew up in the same village，but it was clear that they were mostly very different.
