A very wealthy man had many people working for him. Each week many people were in line to be paid, and were paid well for their work. But there was a small number of the people who were not in line to be paid, and they worked very hard as well. The people who were not in line to be paid, had the lion's share of the wealth, because they could recieve a portion of the entire estate at any time. What was the difference between the ones who were in line to be paid, and the ones who worked but did not ask to be paid??
The ones who waited for pay were servants. The ones who worked and did not ask to be paid were sons. Adopted sons. We can choose to be adopted at any time.]
Servants who wait in line to be paid serve God in order to get into heaven or keep from going to hell. Sons serve God, because He first loved them and think only of giving good service to him. Are you a son or a servant?

Girl wonder
I wonder if you ever get tired of saying "I dont worship your God" "I dont believe in the Bible." Why dont you go play dungeons and dragons, or draw a baphomet or something. Your answers are neither informative or constructive. Just a waste of your time and others.

That is nice metaphor for law or works vs. grace. One problem I have is your line,
"We can choose to be adopted at any time"
I must disagree with you there. God is sovereign over salvation. He determines who will be saved and when the Spirit will indwell them. We have nothing to say about it. If we chose when we are "adopted in" or indwelt with the Spirit, that would make us sovereign over our salvation and God will not share His glory with anyone.

We must 1st learn to walk and do as Jesus did to become a "son", then continue this path and we will be known as a "servant.
The "TRUE" Christian walk will be the hardest thing you ever do in your life.
You will never hear the truth about this from any pulpit, because they simply cannot read the Holy Scriptures and be honest about what they read.

Well I am a son, since I am a boy and I was born. And I have a job so I guess I'm a servant. So both!

I am neither.
But I think most who profess to be christian do so simply out of the fear of hell..
