Judged according to our works - Part 3

This message is Part 3 of a 3-Part message devoted to the phrase “… judged according to our works …” in all the ways it has been delineated in the Bible. If you began listening to this message from the beginning, then you know that we have just concluded Part 2. Part 3 will begin in 2 Timothy and end in Revelation.

In our search for our hope, … having established faith, we must attend to these messages, and avoid picking out individual faith passages to rely on. In considering these phrases, we ask that everyone please remember all the evidence presented thus far regarding “works” and all the points established from parables and stories regarding Jesus’ expectations of us, … and one of the best is found in Matthew 25, in which he offers a prophesy of the end times in which he and the holy heavenly angels will come down and judge every one of us according to what we did for one another on earth, while alive. Those of us who demonstrated love through the acts of charity, mercy, forgiveness, preaching, and ministering will be placed on his right and will be permitted to enter the kingdom of heaven. He considers these … his sheep. But Jesus leaves nothing to the imagination in this chapter. Jesus identifies some of the qualities they’ll be looking for, … the evidence of our faith … as you will, … specifically. Those on his right are those of us who’ve fed the hungry, provided drink to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless, clothes to the naked, blankets to the cold, and ministering to the imprisoned and those of diminished spirit.

Those he herds on his left are all of us who failed to demonstrate love, … and the qualities he identifies … specifically. These people are referred to as goats. And it appears the goats may be arguing their case with Jesus, however Jesus informs them in Matthew 25:45-46 “… Verily I say unto you, in as much as you did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: … but the righteous into life eternal.”
