Recognition of Sin
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Luke 7:42  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Jesus draws a direct correlation between acts of love directed toward Him and the recognition of the enormity of the forgiven sins, as contrasted to the payment made to remove our indebtedness. We are obligated to love Him, and if the recognition is strong, we are virtually driven to do so due to grasping the enormity of what we have been saved from in contrast to the tremendous value of what we are now free to pursue. Could we, like the Ephesian church in Revelation 2:1-7, have left our first love because we no longer make an effort to remember these things? John W. Ritenbaugh An Unpayable Debt and Obligation

Luke 15:14-19  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The Parable of the Prodigal Son unveils a clear progression from awareness of pain arising from want and recognition of sin then on to sorrow for what he had become and done. Repentance, forgiveness, and acceptance were the fruit. John W. Ritenbaugh The Beatitudes, Part Three: Mourning
