>>391122The work in this use case is (in part because it does other stuff) bringing 'a person who believes (faith) that what God has done is done how He says it's done' to be heirs of God sons and daughters whom God is well pleased with. God now has the best relationship with that person who believes by faith. (You could go run up to God and pester God being like a kid.)
The God's grace part is that no other work (for this covenant) can surpass it, if a person believes that work is now also attributed to that person as well. Trying to submit any other work or doings in place of what God provided to everyone makes that work that God provided no longer be that work God provided.
>>391131So there I was chillin', relaxin', and having my mind brought to what Jesus did.
Why did He talk about the parable of the farm workers who all got paid the same at the end of the day. It's God who brings people close to Him, I can't bring anyone close on my own.
He also says to ask God the father to get more workers for the harvest is plentiful.
He also says in a parable to bring in everyone for the son's wedding.
There's a bronze snake in the old testament that people looked to be healed of snake bites as long as they looked at it.
Mostly being reminded over and over it's not the work I do or could do it is what He did. Nobody can claw the way into heaven by being anything less than perfect.
So not to mix cloths and not to adulterate what He did.
Leave it be and do the one thing that I ought to do.
Because He said His yolk is light and it is not burdensome, and He rebukes others for leaving the first love.
He said when people who sew seeds and gather them both are rewarded. The harvest in this case is a colloquial term for when a farm's field has fully matured to be aquired. Which in shortened is harvesting the harvest and shortest is the harvest both the act and the ready plants.
Works and Faith do go togther.
So writing down a context, Jesus doing some sort of work and other people trying to mess with it or doing their own thing makes it something else. What does everyone else do then? Believe.
God does the rest.
It's like the parable of the good Samaritan, what does the broken robbed person do? Be helped.
I ask what I should be doing and He says wait. He's aligning and fixing for when is time I'm ready and able to do the thing correctly. Which means correcting my theology. Thereby showing me what He's doing because He already gave everything. In spiritual warfare every argument and poke and prod boil down to disturbing what Jesus Christ the son of God who is fully man and fully God has done.
Which means nothing nor situation could ever shake that since that's the basis of measurement. Because of a little faith mountains can be moved.
> I still feel so small and feeble, especially when asked to "harvest."Is believing Jesus too hard?
That's all anyone does to be with God as He intends.
