The Sheep and the Goats; Vol 1 Matt 25


The Sheep and the Goats

The parable of the goats and the Sheep is very important in Christian race. Here the writer wish to share the true meaning of the parable to all lovers of Christ

First of all let read the parable from the Bible carefullyMatthew 25:31-46
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Carefully I observed that this parable is a fulfillment of the word of God in the book of Jeremiah 17:10 I Yaweh search the heart, test the motives, to give eacg person what his conduct and his actions deserve God is only interested on our motives behind any actions or conducts. Our motives toward God also determine the quality of services we can offer to God. It so important because motives determine the values of Christianity.

WHAT KIND OF OUR MOTIVEs IS ACCEPTED BY GOD ?

Motives can be divided into two kinds; negative and positive motives namely, it is also possible for someone to have negative motives toward God, which is very destructive for mankind. Example of this negative motive toward God can be found in Genesis during the building of Babel Tower.
God only have interest in Positive motive, and this positive motive is characterized with the life style of Jesus Christ.
A good motives toward God will be well explain on vol 2 the attributes of both the Goats and the sheep will be well explain in vol 2 also

What is Sin? The Existence of Sin in Human race

WHAT IS SIN ? Sin means Satanic In Nature. In the beginning, sin existed before the creation of man and other creatures that live on Earth, that is sin only came through man to the world due to man disobedient to the instructions of God concerning the forbidden fruit. Man was created in God likeness (Genesis 1:27), man was created with a well defined purposes and functionalities (Genesis 1:28-31). It was expected of man to carry out the functionalities God assigned to him in accordance to God instructions and rules. The Coming of Sin into the World and the experience of Sin in Human race Man was created without sin, for some divine purposes and in the likeness of God, but was cut off from these purposes and privileges as the result of sin. In this lesson, we are going to examine how man fell into sin as recorded in the Holy Bible (Genesis 3:1-6) Genesis 3 vs 1: NOW THR SERPENT WAS MORE SUBTLE THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD HAD MADE. The word subtle as used i...

The Blood of Christ Jesus

The Blood of Jesus Protection Through the Blood of Jesus “When I see the blood, I will pass over you.” –Exodus 12:13 (KJV) In Exodus, after nine devastating plagues, Pharaoh still refused to let God’s people go. So, God sent a final plague—one of judgment—to “smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt” (Exodus 12:12). As sons of Adam, Satan knew the children of Israel had broken covenant with God and were also due judgment. God could protect them, but “not without blood.” They had a covenant relationship with God through Abraham, but they needed to stand in that covenant. They needed to choose the covenant over the curse. So, God instructed them to take the blood of a lamb and paint it on their doorposts. They did, and the angel of death passed them by. Was it really the blood of a lamb that stopped them from being killed? No! It was the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) who was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8, KJV). The Blood of Jesus answer a question f...

Daniel Chapter 7 Prophecy.

THE LITTLE HORN OF DANIEL 7 WE ARE STARTING A NEW STUDY THAT BRINGS MORE LIGHT TO PARTICULAR PARTS OF DANIEL'S PROPHESY.. IN OTHER WORDS WE ARE DIGGING DEEP TO FIND THE SPECIFIC PLAYERS IN THE END TIME BEAST SPOKEN ABOUT IN EZEKIEL, DANIEL AND REVELATION.. WHICH WE PRAY WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO READ THESE BOOK AND UNDERSTAND THE LORD'S WARNING MAY GOD ADD A BLESSING TO THE READING OF HIS WORD... AMEN LET US GET STARTED The Little Horn of Daniel: What is it? Can we accurately identify it? Does history once again prove prophecy authentic? And before even considering what this little horn entails, how does prophecy define a “horn?” We need to know this because the Word states that, "no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation." in 2 Peter 1"20. That means I can in no way tell you my opinion of what a prophetic symbol means in prophecy. I must allow the Bible to identify them. By the way, this is an easy way to expose false prophets...
