Why is it OK with God to pay the one who worked all day the same amount paid to the one who worked only an hour?
It is ok to God be/cos God gave us diffrent destiny but all are working in His vein-yeild. Let me conclude that before God all men are equal be ye Bishop, Reverened, pastor or whatsoever whatsoever. And again all christian are running for one goal, and that is heaven.

Why is it OK with God to pay the one who worked all day the same amount paid to the one who worked only an hour?
Because with God, we all get the same just rewards:death for sinners; and Eternal life for those who accept Christ. It does not matter what sin we commit, as long as we dont take the step to stop and worship God, we get punished.Regardless of what we did in the past, or at waht stage we surrender to god-we go to Heaven as long as we keep the faith.

Because the payment of the story is just like the gift God gives to us in this world. Since it`s a gift, what could you murmur against with?

When God calls us and we accepted Him and repent, all our sins were forgiven, and the promise of eternal life is given also. It`s really up to us if we will obey God`s will and walk with Him until he comes.God is faithfull wether you accept Him today or tomorrow it`s just the same contract.

This simply means that the one who recieved Jesus Christ twenty years ago is equal to the one who can recieve Jesus today. WHY? because the kingdom of God is for reghtiousness , peace and joy and Jesus accepts everyone into His hervest. Remember, we are all called into the hervest but few are chosen with the pure heart to complete the hervest. I we are born again, our reward is the same . God is going to do us good if we follow the new commandments of Jesus. Everyone is equal to God and He loves everyone.

The original people that were hired for the day had already agreed to be paid a denarius for the day. It was kindness and compassion on the part of the master, to give the same wage to the ones that only worked an hour. So it is with our Heavenly Father and those that will be called His children. His grace, His love, and His compassion are there for all, no matter in which order you come.

God was OK paying the worker who worked all day the same as the one that worked with only an hour just to show us how it feels to be born again and also it was the kingdom of heaven that he was talking about to his people. God was showing us that there are some of us that can hold their faith till the son of man come again and there are some that will accept Jesus in the later days of the coming of the son of man but we are all going to make it to the kingdom of heaven with the same motive and price tag.

Summarily, this passage made us understand that the salvation for believers in our Lord Jesus Christ is equal for all persons irrespective of period of acceptance. And the word of God is assuring and consistent. Forgiveness of sins does not count on lateness but comes at the fullness of time. The end result of all this is eternal life - the price for our individual labour before the presence of God..

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

"For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'
"They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.'
"He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.' When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.'
"When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius. When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius. When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household, saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!'
"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn't you agree with me for a denarius? Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you. Isn't it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?' So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen."
