Matthew 25:14-28

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

God Almighty has called all of humankind to an existence of diligence. After He made Adam, he charged him to keep and tirelessly dress the wonderful garden He handed down to him (Genesis 2:15). The Almighty without a doubt rewards diligence.

The Lord Jesus Christ additionally drove home the point with the tale of a steady worker to whom his lord had endowed five abilities to exchange with. He was diligent to the point that these gifts yielded five more abilities. At the point when his lord came back to assess his exercises, he was recognized and abundantly rewarded. Matthew 25:23

In this same illustration, we likewise observe the direct inverse of diligence and its results. The worker with one ability underhandedly kept the ability and declined to exchange with it. He reward was the loss of his ability and inside and out dismissal from the delight of his ruler. Then again, the constant worker who began with five gifts picked up the ability that was detracted from the slothful hireling, and wound up with eleven gifts on the whole.

Cherished, sluggishness, in whatever pretense it might come, isn't a Christian ethicalness. Each offspring of God must be persevering.

Proverbs 27:23-27 additionally features the rewards of diligence. The Lord guaranteed to favor crafted by your hands, not your inertness. Know for beyond any doubt that steadfast is He who guaranteed you this, and He will satisfy all He has said in the event that you steadily have your own particular impact (Deuteronomy 28:1-5, Hebrews 10:23).
