HARDWORK AND FAVOUR: I hav grown 2 ment & believed dat a man must work hard 2 b successful in life. It is also believ dat no food 4 lazy man bcos of dis we all try 2 work hard 2 b success & achiev d best in life thru hard work. Tho it is true,but philosophicaly true. Why bcos, i hav seen pipo who hav work hard yet nt successful in life. they try their best, use all their strength but ntting 2 show. I hav also seen pipo who hav nt work or work less but bcom very successful thru help. What will u say about dis? Dat success truly depend on works? No! Frm dis i hav com 2 conclussion dat success does nt realy depends on works/labour but favour/grace. Tho we ar asked 2 work hard 2 b success, but it doesnt realy depend on hard work, it is by favour or grace. Pipo ar destined 2 make it,they hav bn favour or gifted frm birth, elected 2 b successful. Such pipo, wether they work or nt they must make it in life. Their success does nt realy determine by works or hw much they have worked. Dis rule is also apply 2 our spiritual life wit God. Concernin our salvation, it is said in Romans 4: 5, dat pipo ar bless & declear righteous apart frm works, but by favour or grace thru faith. Dat their righteousnes doesnt realy depends on their works, it was inputed by grace, they do nt work 2 deserve it. Jecob, joseph etc bcame successful in life & live a blessed lives nt bcos they realy work 2 deserve it. It was by favour, by election accordin 2 d bible in Rom.9. Pipo who always rely on their works 2 receiv may miss it like d pharisee man in luke 18:10-14 who was only relyin & countin on his good works 2 receiv frm God. But d tax collector dat has no good works receiv blessin frm God bcos his heart was rooted on His favour/grace & mercy. It is nt realy gud 4 we 2 rely & beleiv one must only receiv thru gud works. Such pipo do nt realy hav grace in their heart. Gal.5:4 say, pipo who always trust in their gudnes 2 receiv wil fall frm grace, Christ cant help them. Nttin done by our effort, so let grace reign in ur mind 2 b saved.
