Get your Own!
"'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
Matthew 25:9
Sharing is good. Isn't it?
One of the first lessons in life ... sharing your toys and sweets with friends.
It seems the right Christian thing to do. Sharing your faith, sharing your wealth, sharing your goods.
Look at the early church in Acts. They didn't count their things as theirs alone but gave to anyone in need.
But listen ...
Some things can’t be shared!!!!!
-
Nobody inherits salvation from their parents.
-
God has no grandchildren.
-
I cannot share my faith with you.
-
Grace is not transferrable.
I've only enough oil for myself. I would give you it if I could.
But listen ... I can tell you where to buy!
