(Nuggets from Matthew 25:34)
A day is coming, when all nations will gather before God, waiting for the final sentence to be pronounced upon everyone by Him.
Jesus Christ our Lord and the FINAL JUDGE will separate the SHEEP from the GOAT at the WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT where everyone will be rewarded according to their deeds during their lifetime.
John 5:22 KJV
"For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"
Apostle Paul also mentioned it in the book of Acts 17:31 KJV:
"Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised him from the dead."
Jesus did not only die for our sins, He was predestined to be the judge of the entire earth for whom He died on the cross.
The JUDGMENT will be in two phases and between two categories. The phases are:
1. Judgment unto JUSTIFICATION
2. Judgment unto CONDEMNATION
The two categories of people that will be judged are:
1. The SHEEP
2. The GOAT
The SHEEP will be positioned on the RIGHT HAND of Jesus, the JUDGE. They are the CHOSEN, REDEEMED, and CALLED of God. They are those who obeyed the voice of the SHEPHERD in their lifetime, they upheld RIGHTEOUSNESS and they trusted God as the GOOD SHEPHERD, recognized His voice and followed His lead.
On the other hand, the GOAT are those who RESISTED the Shepherd’s call and dedicated their lives to SERVING THE DEVIL by engaging in sinful acts, thus positioning themselves as REBELS before God.
Matthew 25:41 identifies them as “cursed,” and destined “for the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his rebellious angels.”
Their works reveal an unregenerate heart; they heard about Jesus, they knew the commandments of God, they knew that Jesus had died to atone for the sins of mankind, and that the Blood of Jesus has the potency and power to wash away and cleanse every sin, irrespective of the magnitude, BUT THEY NEVER TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE CROSS TILL THEY DIED IN SIN.
It is not God's desire that anyone should PERISH, but because of His NATURE OF JUSTICE, "THE SOUL THAT SINS SHALL DIE." This death is not physical death, but ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD.
Whilst THE RIGHTEOUS ARE JUSTIFIED AND REWARDED FOR THEIR FAITHFULNESS, the UNRIGHTEOUS will be CONDEMNED FOR THEIR REBELLION AND DISOBEDIENCE.
INHERITING THE KINGDOM OF GOD AT LAST should be your driving force as long as you live in this world, but it comes with a PRICE TAG.
PAY THE PRICE (OF HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS), and AVOID SIN BY ALL MEANS IF YOU MUST WIN THE PRIZE OF INHERITING THE KINGDOM AT LAST.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
