“The kingdom of heaven is like…” – Matthew 20:1
“…I want to give the man who was hired last the same PAY that I gave you.” – Matthew 20:14
I am SO ever grateful that those who take the longest to realize they need Jesus, still experience the same heaven as those of us who have known Jesus for so long.
Our PAY, heaven, will never be based on our works or longevity. It will always be based on His mercy and grace. These are the same for all of us.
“God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him.
People who believe in God’s Son are not judged guilty. Those who do not believe have already been judged guilty, because they have not believed in God’s one and only Son. They are judged by this fact: The Light has come into the world, but they did not want light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things.
All who do evil hate the light and will not come to the light, because it will show all the evil things they do.
But those who follow the true way come to the light, and it shows that the things they do were done through God.” – John 3:16-21
