The Goats

This is the look that all of the goats get after the sheep in the barnyard get raptured. "I thought I was a sheep!" they'll say. "Nope," says Jesus.

“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." - Matthew 25:31-33

You don't want to be a goat.

Goats are the non-believers and/or people who call themselves Christians but sadly find out that Jesus never knew them. They only THOUGHT they were Christians. Turns out they were goats. So what happens to the goats? Do they get to go some place special? Umm . . .

“Then he will say to those on his left (the goats), ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." - Matthew 25:41

Uh-oh.

I'm making light of this situation. It's really rather terrifying if Jesus deems you to be a goat. It is totally up to Him.

So, how can we make sure we're sheep rather than goats? The Bible is filled with examples.

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.” - Matthew 25:45-46

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." - James 1:27

Have you been "polluted by the world'? Has your church?

"Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons." - 1 Timothy 4:1

A recent Barna survey revealed some amazingly scary statistics about us Christians. Or should I say us goats?

• 52% of evangelicals reject absolute moral truth.
• 61% of evangelicals do not read the Bible on a daily basis.
• 75% of evangelicals believe that people are basically good.
• 41% of mainline protestants, 43% of evangelicals, and 44% of Pentecostals and charismatics believe that Jesus sinned while He was on earth.

People, people, people! Read the Bible! Satan is fighting extra hard right now because he knows his time is short. Do NOT be a goat.

The following video is excellent. Watch it for more statistics and truth.
