What does the Bible say about sheep and goats in Matthew 25?

Answered in 1 source

Matthew 25 describes the separation of people into 'sheep' and 'goats' during the final judgment, representing the righteous and the unrighteous.

In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus speaks of a future judgment where He will divide all nations into two groups: the sheep on His right who are blessed and inherit the kingdom, and the goats on His left who are cursed and face everlasting punishment. This parable highlights the criteria for judgment, emphasizing that those who have acted with mercy towards the 'least of these' are seen as righteous. The presence of both groups in this story illustrates the reality of both true faith and false assurance in the world.
