The Parable of the Talents
The Parable of the Talents
Positive Christianity Series Episode #111
GOD Almighty wants us to keep improving and not to be stagnated in the practice of sin, idol worship, negative emotions, and vices. This describes the reasoning of why we need to worship GOD Almighty with our virtues, talents, time, and resources instead of being irresponsible and arrogant. GOD Almighty creates individuals so that we can grow in virtues for all eternity and not only in this life in the worship of GOD Almighty. The sincere worship of GOD Almighty allows us to grow, learn, and improve each day because we choose to have fidelity to GOD Almighty. The Parable of the Talents describes the need to practice responsibility and accountability with the talents, virtues, time, and work we accomplish. We learn that there have been preachings about the Parable of the Talents to justify the love of money, yet we know that the parable describes the importance of being responsible with our gifts, talents, resources, and time so that we worship GOD Almighty instead of practice idol worship and the love of money that is idolatry.
The Sacred Scriptures describe that every individual will give an account to GOD Almighty for how they utilized their talents, virtues, and time on earth. We learn that this wisdom allows us to know that GOD Almighty knows everything for all time and all eternity, and that we can not lie to ourselves nor to GOD Almighty. We are able to understand that we can not misutilize our virtues in idol worship or self-worship because that actually leads to a decrease of virtues and individuals having vices and stagnation instead.
"For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away."- Matthew 25: 14-16
GOD Almighty creates each individual so that they can accept and confess King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, obey the commandments of Moses, and repent of sin with sincerity of heart. When we decide to accept King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior and obey the commandments, we begin to grow in talents, virtues, wisdom, perseverance, might, authority, humility, renovation of youth, responsibility, and most important of all the virtues, fidelity, to the GOD of gods, GOD Almighty. We realize the importance of responsibility and fidelity to GOD Almighty because this allows us to keep improving each day in the devotion to the worship of GOD Almighty. This describes the importance of persevering with humility, responsibility, accountability, and fidelity to King Jesus Christ.
We learn that this life is a test to know who do we worship? Do we worship the Creator, GOD Almighty, or do individuals decide to worship money, false idolatrous "relationships" that want to lead far from GOD Almighty, temporary resources, idol worship, or self-worship. If we choose to worship GOD Almighty above everything, we are able to persevere described in the Parable of the Sower preaching and practicing righteousness. We learn that GOD Almighty does not forsake righteous individuals that choose GOD Almighty above everything despite the temporary lies of evil, temptations, and persecution. We learn that instead we grow in virtues and talents to further worship GOD Almighty. If we place our priority on the worship of GOD Almighty and obeying the commandments, GOD Almighty helps us persevere similar to Noah and his family, Lot, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Israel and his household, Joseph, Moses, Eleazar, Joshua, Elijah, David, Hezekiah, Isaiah, Abiathar, Jehoida and Jehoshebeath, Jeremiah, Baruch, the Rechabites, Joseph, Mary, Hannah, Zechariah, Elizabeth, John the Baptist, the disciples, and apostles including John, Cephas, Luke, Matthew, Mark, Jude, James, and Paul. The righteous individuals use their talents and virtues to worship GOD Almighty, and GOD Almighty gives additional talents and virtues. We learn that the slothful and wicked individual in the Parable of the Talents decides to misutilize his talent and hides it in the ground. We learn that this describes using the talents and virtues to practice idol worship or self-worship. This leads to any previous virtues being removed and instead there are vices. We learn that there was no multiplication or addition and instead only stagnation.
"He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money."- Matthew 25: 16-18
