One of the most profound “truths” in the Bible regarding salvation by grace alone can be found in the parable that our Lord Jesus told of the workers in the harvest. This parable is not about the rewards that a believer will receive in heaven, but about service and obedience to God.
In this parable Jesus further clarified the membership rules of the kingdom of heaven—entrance is by God’s grace alone. In this parable, God is the landowner, and believers are the workers. This parable speaks especially to those who feel superior because of heritage or favored position, to those who feel superior because they have spent so much time with Christ, and to new believers as reassurance of God’s grace.
