The document describes a parable from the Bible where a vineyard owner hires workers throughout the day at different hourly rates. At the end of the day, he pays all workers the same wage, including those who only worked for an hour. When the longer-working workers complain, the owner responds that he is free to pay as he chooses and asks if they begrudge his generosity. The document then discusses how this parable shows that God's love, acceptance and forgiveness are gifts of His generosity and not commodities exchanged for human performance or merit.
