Consider
the following words of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Matthew
25:31 When the Son of man shall come in His
glory,and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He
sit upon the throne of His glory: 32
And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He
shall seperate them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats: 33
And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the
goats on the left. 34 Then shall The
King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed
of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world: 35 For
I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,
and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took
me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me:
I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and
ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the
righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee
an hungred, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee
drink? 38 When saw we Thee a stranger,
and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? 39
Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto
Thee? 40 And The King shall answer
and say unto them, Verily, I say unto you, Inasmuch
as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41
Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart
from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared
for the devil and his angels: 42 For
I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty,
and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a
stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed
me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer Him,
saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, or athirst,
or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and
did not minister unto Thee? 45 Then
shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these,
ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall
go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous
into life eternal.
Matthew
25:31-46
Matthew
6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before
men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward
of your Father which is in heaven. 2
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a
trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues
and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know
what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine
alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in
secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew
6:1-4
