22: The day of judgement is coming, and Jesus makes it clear that salvation will not be based upon good works. Indeed, many would say, how can these things be done by those who are not saved? Keep in mind, however, that Judas did these things, and yet was not Christ’s in reality. Balaam prophesied by God, and yet was, it became apparent, a false prophet. Indeed, many supposed ministers of the gospel in our own day have been found to be quite false in their own hearts.
