535th Post Jesus Said Concerning Parables Con't. - Parable of the Clever But Evil Steward Con't. 7th Post - Luke 16: 1 - 13 Con't.

Luke 16: 1 - 13 Continued Parable of the Clever But Evil Steward Con't. 7th post.
We were looking at unrighteous mammon in the last post.  We were trying to explain that even if you are evil, you have to adopt some good qualities, in order to have any social life.  This is where the saying of "Honor among thieves," comes from.  Jesus went on to explain that how well you adopt the social practices will coincide with how successful you are in the world.  The bottom line is that in order to obtain the Kingdom of Heaven, and everlasting life, you must not live for the world, but for God.  This parable was spoken by Jesus during His discourse on "Repent or Perish".  The action that Jesus was asking the people He was talking to is the same action, you have to decide what you will do.  Once you are confronted with the Word of God and His Truth, you have to make a decision, are you going to change your sinful ways and walk in the light, or are you going to remain in your sin?  This is the same question we must all answer.  Are you in the world, or in the Kingdom of God, the choice is yours.
