SDG 229 Do you want God to be fair or good?

Matthew 20:1–15

So which is it for you? Do you want God to be good or do you want God to be fair?

Well, please consider the following:

We are saved by grace and grace alone, yet some "believers" even those in positions of leadership do not understand this sacred truth and even laugh at the gospel of grace.

But remember that Paul said in Galatians 1:6-9 KJV [1] I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: [7] Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Last week I shared with you the truth tempered in love, and warned you to beware of a false gospel that being preached in a ministry I helped found.

So do you want God to be fair or good?

Well I guess that all depends on what you believe about The Gospel of Christ.  Is it grace and grace alone or is it grace plus works?

Well if your answer’s grace and grace alone then I know that you know and you're thanking God daily for being so good.

But if you think your salvation depends upon grace and works then I suppose you’d probably want God to be fair.  After all you earned it right?

In today’s message we’ll look at 5 incredible truths contained in the story of the man and his workers in the vineyard and by the end of this message I pray that you see why it's better for God to be good rather than fair.
