The central message underscores that salvation is by faith in Christ alone, not by good works, yet genuine faith inevitably produces loving service to others, especially the marginalized, as evidence of a transformed heart. The passage from Matthew 25 reveals that Christ's final judgment will not be based on moral performance alone, but on whether individuals have shown love to Him through their treatment of His followers, making clear that true faith is inseparable from love. For believers, Christ's return offers hope and the completion of salvation, freeing them from sin's presence and ushering them into eternal life; for unbelievers, it brings a sobering warning of eternal separation from God, as the door of grace remains open only until His return. The sermon concludes with a heartfelt invitation to all—whether burdened by guilt or indifferent to God—to come to Christ in faith, receive His rest, and be saved before it is too late.
