No Joe, the believers work hard and the exploiters, well, they exploit the hard working. Same it true of religion and politics. Exploiters love to see the true believers a coming!

In context, the Sermon on the Mount and the Last Judgment are connected. I believe the point of the Sermon was that no matter how good you may think you are, God standard is higher and NO ONE can enter Heaven on their own merit (excepting Christ) and that we have need of the Sacrifice acceptable to God the Father, the Judge. Remember the warning to those who point to their own work and say Lord, Lord did we not do this and that? And then God says to them "depart from me, ye workers of iniquity. I never knew you!" Seems to me, the criterion for salvation is the personal knowledge, or rather "knowing" the Christ. Once knowing Christ, acceptable good works are a spontaneous result of that bond.
