The Faithless Servant

In the Parable of the Talents written in the 25th chapter of Matthew's Gospel we are reminded that faithfulness is an evidence of our salvation. The unfaithful servant saw only the harshness of God and failed to see the graciousness of God extended to the other two servants for their faithfulness. God's graciousness is magnified to the faithful, while those who are faithless will experience the harsh wrath of God for all eternity. Have you taken that the first step of faithfulness? Have you repented of your sins and placed your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life? Jesus Christ is the very person of God's amazing grace and the only hope of salvation we have. Repent and trust Christ today to receive forgiveness of your sins and begin your walk of faithfulness toward God. Are you already saved and not walking faithfully toward God? Examine yourself to see if you are truly in the faith by reading John's first epistle. Compare your life to the life of a Christian described by the Apostle John. There should be a resemblance. If not, then repent and believe today!
