In the Meantime, Part 5: Rewarded According to Works (Rev. 22:12)

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that salvation is by God's grace and not by works, clarifying that Revelation 22:12 refers to Christ rewarding individuals according to their nature rather than their behavior. The preacher explains that the nature of a person, as evidenced by their fruits, reveals whether they are truly saved, and Jesus will judge accordingly at His second coming. The message warns against false appearances of righteousness and stresses the seriousness of willful sin after receiving the truth. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to understand the distinction between salvation by grace and the judgment based on the true nature of their hearts.
