1 | Is is right to call money a seed? | NT general Archive 1 | casiv | 23985 | ||
Support.........Good answer! While I was reading your response I couldn't help think about when Jesus is separating the goats from the sheep in Matt 25:32-46 that the righteous were unaware of their good deeds. Matt 25:34 - Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, "Come ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Matt 25:35 - For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: Matt 25:36 - Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me." Matt 25:37 - Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, "Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? Matt 25:38 - When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? Matt 25:39 - Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee? Matt 25:40 - And the King shall answer and say unto them,"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me." They give in Love without need or want of reward! Thanks for taking me there with your answer! Peace, Casiv |

Hi casiv, I also appreciate your thoughts here concerning the righteous not being aware of their good deeds. I think whether we are aware or not it should not lead us to pride for the things being done; in other words not making us righteous. I compare your Matthew 25:40 verse and having "done it unto Me" with retxar's 2 Cor 9:8 verse, "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;..." God is the One who gives us the grace, love, and earnestness (see 2 Cor 8:16) to do the gracious work for the glory of the Lord Himself. First we give ourselves to the Lord and then to others by the will of God. (verse 8). Actually He does it all. 2 Cor 9:10, "Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God." A comparison of Psalm 112:3 and 2 Cor 9:9 is of interest to me but that is a different thought. Later, Ray |
