Augustin Marlorat du Pasquier, French Reformer, says Christ will focus on deeds of love on the last day (Matthew 25). Marlorat says charity is a token by which we declare ourselves to worship God.

Was told in youth it was Marxism to say this passage was about feeding hungry people. But this idea is all over the Reformation, as I soon shall prove by inductive reasoning.

How can you declare yourself to worship God?

AUGUSTIN MARLORAT DU PASQUIER (1506-1562) A catholike and ecclesiasticall exposition of the holy Gospell after S. Mathewe "For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat. I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink. As before he preferred the duty of love before all other things in the godly, so also here he layeth cruelty to the charge of the wicked. Charity or love is a token, by the which men declare themselves to worship God: and therefore he maketh mention only of love."
