Faith is the Key

Matthew 25:14-30 (LPV)

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 faiths, 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 faiths went and placed it in Christ, and increased his faith.

17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained more faith.

18 But he that had received one went and hid his lord’s faith in things of the world.

19 After a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.

20 And so he that had received five faiths came, saying, “Lord, you delivered me by faith: behold, I am changed.”

21 His lord said unto him, “Well done, good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter into my joy.”

22 He also that had received two faiths came and said, “Lord, you delivered me by faith: behold, I am changed.”

23 His lord said unto him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter into my joy.”

24 Then he which had received the one faith came and said, “Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not strawed:

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your faith in Satan’s dominion: see, there is Your faith.”

26 His lord answered and said unto him, “You wicked and slothful servant, you knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

27 You ought therefore to have put my faith to use, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

28 Take that faith from him, and give it to another.

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.”

30 And cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
