Will you work for Jesus? Will you serve Him? Jesus is Lord. The kingdom
of heaven belongs to Him. He will decide who will go in there and who
not. It is not in vain that Jesus told the parable of the talents.

not. It is not in vain that Jesus told the parable of the talents.
We read in Matthew 25:14-30.
14“For it
is just like a man about to go on a journey, who
called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. 15“To
one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each
according to his own ability; and he went on his
journey. 16“Immediately the one who had received the five
talents went and traded with them, and gained five more
talents. 17“In the same manner the one who had
received the two talents gained two more. 18“But
he who received the one talent went away, and dug a
hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

19“Now
after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled
accounts with them. 20“The one who had received the five
talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you
entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more
talents.’21“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and
faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you
in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’

22“Also
the one who had received the two talents came up and said,
‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two
more talents.’ 23“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good

24“And
the one also who had received the one talent came up and said,
‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow
and gathering where you scattered no seed. 25‘And I was
afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you
have what is yours.’

26“But
his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you
knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered
no seed. 27‘Then you ought to have put my money in the
bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back
with interest. 28‘Therefore take away the talent from him, and
give it to the one who has the ten talents.’

29“For
to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have
an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does
have shall be taken away. 30“Throw out the worthless slave
into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.”

That is what will
happen to born again children of God that are unfruitful. They will
end up in hell.

Are we using our
talents, our abilities, our resources and time for the kingdom of
God? Are we serving Jesus and bringing souls to Him? Or are we hiding
our talents, wasting them on the things of the world?
