The Separation of the Sheep and the Goats

Jesus tells us unmetaphorically and with crystal clarity how we should live in light of his return. In Matthew's account Jesus does not give us a detailed outline of eternal judgment or eternal life but he gives evocative pictures. The Bible is clear that all of us have been wonderfully and beautifully made by God, but we are also through our own choice horribly tainted by sin. But in God's grace, He gives all of us the opportunity to have a new nature, a new identity that leads to a new destiny.
