Here is a quote from an article by a man who has performed works in Christ...more than many would dream of:
"There is a consciousness, that seems to me by the Word of God and by my own personal experience, that must be possessed where any individual can enter into the direct presence of God and receive the baptism of the Spirit. That is the consciousness of sinlessness. The consciousness that your sins are gone...I tell you, beloved, that the external evidences of God and the power of His Spirit, no matter how wonderful, are a small matter compared with the consciousness of the Word of God in the human heart; in your heart and mine, bless God..." (John G Lake)
When we consider the parable of the prodigal son, we must understand that it's not passive or lisencious to feast at His table (lisencious would be the younger son running off and living wrecklessly like he did, yet, funny enough, even in that place, he was still his father's son...).
John G Lake understood the Grace of God, and who he was because of Jesus's sacrifice, and that's what bore fruit in his life!
Grace to you all :-)
