[Luke 15:10]
Jesus is telling us to be bold, ready to receive his gift of free grace.
[2 Timothy 2:1]

When someone gives you a gift the best way you can show that person that you appreciate it, is to use it.
The best way to receive any gift is to use it.

There are 3 gifts that God wants to give us:
'Prodigal son upon arriving back home was given 3 gifts: a robe, a ring and scandals'
God also wants to give us these 3 gifts.

The Robe - Signifies our identity as His son/daughter.
God wants to cover our rags of filth and sin
[Isaiah 61:10]
God wants to take this robe of righteousness and clothe you with it,
The moment we accept Christ we are clothed with this robe - changing our image.

The Ring - The ring symbolizes Authority 0 In Christ Jesus we have authority!

The Scandals - In the Bible times, only people that were part of the family were given shoes to wear, so when the father gives scandals he is telling you that you are part of His family and you belong there with Him.
