The Remnant Bride

A deception has been foisted upon the church. The deception says that all Christians are
equal before the Father. They will all share the same resurrection, the same reward, the

same destiny. This is entirely untrue. Many have confused the remission of sins, which is
given freely and in the same measure to all who believe, with sanctification and reward.

Being born of the Spirit is a free gift. It is a gift given equally to all who trust in Christ
Yahshua for the forgiveness of their sins. It matters not how long you have trusted in Him,

nor how faithfully you have walked before Him. This salvation is a free gift to those who
believe. This is the subject of the following parable of Christ.

Matthew 20:1-16

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning

hired us.' He said to them, 'You too go into the vineyard.' And when evening had
come, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them

their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.' And when those hired about
the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius. And when those hired first

came, they thought that they would receive more; and they also received each one
a denarius. And when they received it, they grumbled at the landowner, saying,

'These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us
who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.' But he answered and

said to one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for
a denarius? Take what is yours and go your way, but I wish to give to this last man

the same as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or
is your eye envious because I am generous?' Thus the last shall be first, and the first
