Good Son, The

For example, the good son told his father that he wants to do his command and obey its rules while the other son said no and did not recognize the request fathers. Although the disobedient son says no to his father, he left his job as the father asked. Does this mean that an atheist, someone who does not say the father, but simply did not recognize it, can still do what is morally right and be seen as the Good Son?

I like to think so, and that's how I think interpreting this parable. How do you interpret it?

A son is a born-again believer, the son who lived for himself and indulged his flesh came to the end of himself and repented

Jesus said you must be born again

No, because an atheist does not make the chore that demands Father. They are worse than demons. Demons believe there is a God (Jacques 2:19). Demons even call Jesus "the Holy One of God" (Luke 4:34), and the demons call Jesus "the Christ, the Son of God" (Luke 4:41), and the demons call Jesus' Son of God Most High "(Luke 8:28). So even if you say things like that about Jesus, this is not good enough. Here is what a true believer is the following:

John 3:36 - "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.". ~ Note: This is obviously true, but some people do not know what the word means to believe them. One thing it means is to be engaged. Therefore, this faith in Jesus Christ is not a matter of once and it's over with. You must be committed to Him, or you're not a believer. Faith is also used in the NT of the conviction and confidence in which a man is driven by some interior and more the prerogative and right to the soul. This means that when we believe in Jesus Christ, his power in us drives us to have a distinctive advantage of having our souls than obey his moral law. But a Christian can not stop believing. A Christian can not liquidate more committted to Christ. For some have already turned aside after Satan - 1 Tim. 05:15.

This is the same word for believing in Eph. 1:19, where, as above, it is also in the present. great power of God for our final redemption not work in those who once believed in Jesus Christ, but to those who still believe in Him. Words do not believe in the above scripture John 3:36 and Romans 3:31 p.m., means being disobedient or not to comply. We must therefore continue to believe and obey Christ with fidelity, action continues to be a true believer. So yes, believers have eternal life, but if the distance to obey God and stop living a godly life by being more committed to him, that person is no longer a true believer.
