Matt Larson teaches us through Luke 15, where Jesus tells three stories, each sharing the need for repentance. God deeply loves all of His creation, but His grace is experienced by the repentant. If we view ourselves as "unsaveable" and we choose not to repent, we miss out on the experience of God's grace. If we view ourselves as righteous by our works and we choose not to repent, we miss out on the experience of God's grace.
