Matthew 25:31 - 25:46

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the last parable in Matthew 25, which he believes concludes the Olivet Discourse. The parable is about the judgment of nations, rather than individual judgement, and determines who will be allowed to enter the millennial reign. Gregg explains that Christians should take judgement seriously, and that their works will be considered in the final judgement. He emphasizes the importance of truly believing, as belief shapes how one lives and will ultimately impact the judgement.
