Subject: Is is right to call money a seed? |
Bible Note: 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 |
