What does the Bible say about who are the sheep?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the sheep as those who are blessed by the Father, have faith in Christ, and demonstrate love for others.

In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus speaks of the final judgment when He separates people into two groups: sheep and goats. The sheep are on His right hand, blessed by the Father to inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world. They are characterized by their righteous deeds, which flow from their faith and love for Christ, as indicated in their service to others. Unlike the goats, who fail to show true love and compassion, the sheep are those who are chosen, redeemed, and empowered by the Spirit to live out their faith.
