Being the Means of Other's Salvation: Parable of the Ten Virgins with John Gerstner

When Christ returns to claim His bride, it will be revealed that some of those who claim to know Him are in actuality false believers. He will find both wise virgins who have possessed faith and foolish virgins who have only professed faith.
In this study of Matthew 25:1-13, John Gerstner reminds us that there are many in the church who are not really saved. He examines the outward works that both Christians and non-Christians may produce and encourages people in the church to search their hearts for the obedience that demonstrates the reality of the faith professed.

This is like finding a treasure hidden. when millions are drawn to flashing lights and performance preaching, Gerstner is teaching from an old quality plain video more wisdom than all the rest combined.

I wonder if that proclamation of Christ's "workers of iniquity" was said because those people boasted in their work for Him in expectation or demand of payment (ie heaven)? Like, Christ owed them Heaven for their employment in service to His name. Just a thought.
The church definitely needs another "Great Awakening" in this era of the Laodicean church!!

Very interesting thought on that verse never though of it from that point of view.

He is the master of all but He didn’t choose all. This parable is not about church people. God choose His people from the foundation of the world, so it’s not of works that any should boast but by grace through faith and repentance

Are you a Christian?Do you love The Lord thy God with all your heart and love your neighbor like you love yourself.These 2 are what all the commandments hang on.
