Grace vs Works: How Judgment and Salvation Fit Together

"Grace may forgive you, but the law still says you were speeding." Pastor Robert Stankovic opens with that traffic-stop exchange to frame the question at the heart of this message: if we're saved by grace and not by works, why does the Bible also say every person will be judged by what they've done? Working through Ephesians 2, 2 Corinthians 5, and the parables of the ten virgins, the talents, and the sheep and goats, Stankovic shows that grace and judgment were never in competition — Jesus is both the Lamb who takes away sin and the Judge who reveals what's really in the heart. Grace is the root. Works are the fruit. And judgment simply shows whether the root was ever there.
