Isa 55:6-9
Phil 1:20-24,27
Mt 20:1-16
The Kingdom of God is like a vineyard to w/c the landowner calls laborers to work for him. He searches for workers all day long. Then he gives them all the same wage.
God sent His Son to save us. Christ outlined how he was going to save us: "Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand."
So to be saved, we repent, join the Kingdom & work in the vineyard. It's not enough to be sinless. That's just the prerequisite. We must have an active service for the Lord, helping build His Kingdom. Only then will we receive the 'wage' He gives all workers - heaven.
Serving at church or community doesnt benefit God. It benefits us & keeps us focused on God & guides us away from sin. It keeps us healthy, holy & happy.
Happy Lord's Day!
