What happens to those who rely on their works for salvation?

Those who depend on their works for salvation will ultimately experience disappointment and judgment. The sermon highlights that human righteousness, when viewed by God's standards, is akin to filthy rags. Efforts to create a covenant with God through works will ultimately prove empty, and individuals will find themselves 'weighed in the balance and found wanting.' Their only regret in judgment will be realizing their endeavors were insufficient, as God's requirement for righteousness can only be met through Jesus Christ, whose merits alone can save.
