Regardless of how much we try to place the emphasis of our religion on faith, love and obedience, we can never evade one final test, the service test. The test of service excludes all who merely profess to be religious from the kingdom of heaven. "Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21. The story of the Good Samaritan is a graphic example to two "professors of religion" who were unwilling to serve God through ministering to the needs of their fellowmen. Jesus applied this service test in His picture of final judgment when He said, "I was hungry and you fed Me; thirsty, and you gave Me a drink; naked, and you clothed Me; sick and in prison, and you visited Me." Matthew 25:35-36. They said, "Lord when did we ever see You hungry or thirsty, naked, sick or in prison and ministered unto You?" He said, "Inasmuch as you did it unto the least of these my brethren, you did it unto Me." vs. 37-40. This is not to imply salvation is obtained by or through good works. Rather, that faith, love and obedience find their finest expression in good deeds--service to others.
