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?
I think it can be compared to our salvation. It is equally given to us; to the righteous and to the not so righteous people.

THE FIRST GOD IS JUST IN ALL THING, FOR BE STAY WITH HE MUST HAVE OUR HEARTH OPEN TO GOD AND ACEPT HIS WILL INSTRUCTIONS. BECOUSE So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.

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?
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.

God said that to say this. He loves all of us and all of us are equal, nobody is better that the other. If you acepted Jesus first or last he still will treat you the same.

God has it`s on plan in each of our lives, some of us may experience difficult situation than others but he knows our limitations. He won`t give us burden we can`t endure and only then God can test our faith in Him. Just believe in Him and never compare yourself to others.

Because for one thing he is the owner of everything that he created including us. So he has the right to pay each one what he wants too! So according to this scripture we are treated equal regardless of how long we have worked. He loves all of us equally and wants all of us to be rewarded for our work. What a wonderful blessing from our heavenly father to give each and every one of us who believes in him Christ Jesus. Amen!

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."
