True faith leads to love. Loving actions for our neighbor will be the
evidence when the Almighty judges between the faithful and the false.
Jesus revealed this terrifying day of judgement in Matthew 25:31-46.
God will judge between the sheep and goats of all nations. Many call
Him “Lord,” but God separates the sheep from the goats on the basis
of other criteria. Those who have treated their neighbor with loving
actions, He places at his right hand; these enter into His glory. Those
who did not treat their neighbor with love He places to His left; these
go to the eternal fire.
