Where Sin Increased, Grace Increased All the More – Luke 15:22-23 and Romans 5:20 (Video)

We understand the father being glad the son returned home, but what father would give his son the best robe, a ring, shoes, and the huge celebration after living so rebelliously?

Romans 5:20 says, "The law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace increased all the more." The son's sin increased, but the Father's grace increased more.https://youtu.be/y0eMCF1m4g8Roman...
