So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
— Romans 10:17 (KJV)
The Pharisees' view of God is incorrect. Jesus corrected them by sharing three parables (lost sheep, coin and son) that reflects God's delight in the repentance of sinners. True repentance is further explained within the parable of the lost son and the preacher shared about the other elder brother who delights in and is our restoration. There are no sinners too far gone from God's house as we are wretched sinners Saved by Grace.
