How can one telll whether at the judgement he/she will be a sheep or a goat?
The Sheep on His right, are the ones that obeyed and did the things listed: ministered unto the least of these, the sick, hungry, inprisoned, etc. and the goats on his left, who didn`t do any of that He says will be cursed, going to Satan`s side.

How can one telll whether at the judgement he/she will be a sheep or a goat?
Goat can be compared with those who heard the world of God but failed to do His will. When a goat is beating in a place, she move away from that spot and latter come back to thesame place where she was beaten. The Sheep is an humble animal. Many good things goes with the Sheep. According to the scripture, the disciples were called Christian in Antioch because their behaviour resembles that of Jesus Christ. In that sense, who ever want to be like Sheep must humble himself and be the doer of Christ`s world and not the listerner alone.

How can one telll whether at the judgement he/she will be a sheep or a goat?
First of all, I would like to let you know that in this world we live there is strugle between two kingdoms : that of darkness and that of light. The sheep are God ` s peple or belivers who will inherit the kingdom of God and the goats are non belivers who will be thrown into the kingdom of darkness. The sheep will be known because they are the righteous of God and they will be put to the right hand side of God. and the goats'' non'' belivers to the left. The Children of God will inherit the kindom of God because they accepted Jesus Christ and proclaimed the Good news of Christ in prisons , healed the sick , clothed those who did not have clothes. In short , the sheep did the will of God while on earth. The goats '' non believers '' will be cast into the lake of fire because they negletcted Jesus while on earth. Therefore we should be prepared and lay good foundation so that we inherit the kingdom of God.

Well for one thing a sheep represents a believer in Christ Jesus and a goat represents a non-believer. So those who are sheep do the will of God give and visit those who are hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, sick or in prison. Thank God for his mercy and grace and for giving us all that we need in Jesus name. God has blessed us so we can be a blessing to others. God is LOVE!

Would you still be a goat if you did wrong things and changed your life by asking God forgiveness?

By the way we live our lives. Because God said when I was hungry you gave me to eat, when I was thirsty you gave me to drink now enter into the home of my Father. The love we share with each other. But God is our judge because many times in life we fail to do these things, he knows our hearts whether it is pure and true, he know our ways, he sees the things we do. We must realise that you can deceive man but you cannot deceive God. So we need to prepare ourselves for judgement day by living the life our Father wants us to live, be kind, tolerant, help the poor, the lame do it in peace and love, let it be reflected in our actions. Blessed be the name of the Lord, thank you Lord for delivering me.

Look at the way you lived your life. If you have always tried to look out for your brothers and sisters, and had their best interests at heart, then you will be the sheep. If you are greedy and self-serving, then you are a goat.

One can tell whether they will be a sheep or goat according to this passage, depending on your actions towards your neighbour-Whether you were kind, helpful, caring, etc.In other words, according to how you serve the others who are around you, since serving one`s fellowmen is service to the Almighty God.In spite of our good works however, actions alone without the right attitude''Love'' according to Paul in 1 cor. 13.1-3 will be useless.again, James says that works''actions '' must be accompanied by Faith, and this must be faith in Jesus Christ.Therefore brethren, lets quicken our hands and hearts to help the needy around us, sharing Jesus`compassion and love with them. And may we be found worthy!

The Sheep and the Goats

"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
"The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.' Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'
"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.' These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
