What Is Needed in order to Be Saved.

Parable of the Good Samaritan

Now, when the Son of Man comes in his majesty, accompanied by all the angels, he will sit on the throne of his glory; and all the peoples being gathered before him, he will separate them from one another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Then, the King will say to those who are on his right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take possession of the kingdom that has been prepared for you since the beginning of the world, for I was hungry and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me to drink; I was in need of shelter and you sheltered me; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to see me.”

Then, the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you to eat, or thirsty and gave you to drink? When was it that we saw you without  a shelter and sheltered you, or without  clothes and clothed you? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and came to visit  you?” And the King will respond to them, “Verily I say to you, as often as you did it on behalf of the least of my brothers, it was to me that you did it.”

Next, to those who are on his left he will say, “Away from me, you who are accursed;  go to the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels, for I was hungry and you did not give me to eat; I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink; I needed shelter and you did not shelter me; I had no clothes and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.”

Then, these too will reply, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry, thirsty, or without  shelter, or sick or in prison  and  we failed  to help you?” But he will respond to them, “Verily I say to you, as often as you failed to render this assistance to one of the least of these, you failed to do it to me.”

And they will go to eternal punishment,  and the righteous to eternal life. (Mt. 25:31-46)
