In luke, there are some interesting stories. In one of these stories, we are told of Zacceueus, a man who was fully aware of how much he needed Jesus. The pharisees counted him out as being too sinful to be eligible for God's love. They underestimated the power of grace. Zaccheus shows the greatness of the love Jesus showed for him in how much he changed his life towards others.
Next we read of the parable of the talents. Here are 3 men with differing views of who God is. The one who had a heart to serve the Lord was bold with his gifts and served the Lord with all he had... the third was negligent and used his fear as an excuse for his in-action... We must realize that all we have is from God, so we must use it for his kingdom.
I couldn't agree with you more, Brother Matt. In the parable, inaction was treated similarly to opposition.
