How great is God's grace toward us?

I started reading book by Timothy Keller called The Prodigal God where he's giving a new way of looking at the parable Jesus said in Luke 15 - Prodigal son. Keller says that the name of the parable is not the best and he suggests it should be rather called The Two Lost Sons - because it's a story of both, the younger and the elder brother.

This is one of the things that I read today and would like to share:

God's love and forgiveness can pardon and restore any and every kind of sin or wrongdoing. It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done. It doesn't matter if you're deliberately oppressed or even murdered people, or how much you're abused yourself. The younger brother knew that in his father's house there was abundant "food to spare," but he also discovered that there was grace to spare. There is no evil that the father's love cannot pardon or cover, there is no sin that is a match for his grace.
