Summary:
The parable of the two sons shows that our life is more than just words. We must be obedient. Obedience done in charity leads to true freedom. It is not enough to just give our word, we must follow through and with the grace of God we are able to follow through. When our thoughts, words and actions unite with the will of God, we truely have made God our everything, our all in all.
