MATTHEW 25:31-46 31) ' When the Son 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 separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep form the goats: 33) And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

34) Then shall He 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 hungred and ye gave me meet: 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 in prison , and ye came to me.

37) Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty and gave thee drink?

38) when saw we a stranger, and took thee in? or naked and clothed thee?

39) or when saw we sick, or in prison and came unto thee?

40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of those my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41) Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart form me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels 42) For I was hungred, and ye gave me no meet: 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: and in prison and ye visited me not: 44) Then shall they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we hungred, or a thirst, or a stranger,or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45) Them shall He answer them, saying, Verily \\, I say unto you, in as much 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 live eternal.'( KJV) This scripture is telling us of the last judgement and what Jesus states would become of the righteous ( saved ) or the lost ( not saved ) It is also telling us that there are needs off others that we can fulfill. Doing so it is as if we are doing it for Him.

He is aware of what we do or what we do not do when we could actually do something. We are to treat others as if we were doing something for the Lord.

The Lord will bless what ever you do kindly for someone else, because it is as though you would be doing it for Him.

Your actions will come up before God at the last judgement, How will you fit these things He mentioned?

Those who do not measure up will have eternal punishment for their sins.

Those who are saved-Jesus paid for their punishment-- and gives them eternal life to them.
