And the Lord tells the faithful servants,
"Well done good and faithful servant! You were faithful in a few things . . . enter into the joy of your Lord!" It's like in Hebrews chapter 11, the so-called "Hall of Faith." Those ones were just like us and blew it a lot, but what is recorded are the
few times they showed faith and trusted Him - that's what's important to God and that's what the Holy Spirit records there!
