Mat 25:31-40, 2Cor 5:14, 1Th 1:3, Heb 11:8, 17-19, Jam 2:14-26 | ESV | STEP | When the Son of Man comes in his glory , and all the angels with him , then he will sit on his glorious throne .

31 ^a“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, ^bthen he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him ^cwill be gathered ^dall the nations, and ^ehe will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates ^fthe sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then ^gthe King will say to ^hthose on his right, ‘Come, you ⁱwho are blessed by my Father, ^jinherit ^kthe kingdom ^lprepared for you ^mfrom the foundation of the world. 35 For ⁿI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you ^ogave me drink, ^pI was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 ^qI was naked and you clothed me, ^rI was sick and you ^svisited me, ^tI was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And ^uthe King will answer them, ^v‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these ^wmy brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} you did it to me.’

2 Corinthians 5:14

14 For the love of Christ ^ycontrols us, because we have concluded this: that ^zone has died for all, therefore all have died;

1 Thessalonians 1:3

3 remembering before ^aaour God and Father ^abyour work of faith and labor of ^aclove and ^adsteadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 11:8

8 By faith ^aeAbraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place ^afthat he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Hebrews 11:17-19

17 By faith ^agAbraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, ^ah“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 ^aiHe considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

James 2:14-26

Faith Without Works Is Dead

14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith ^ajbut does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 ^akIf a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 ^aland one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good ^{▼▼Or benefit} is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith ^anapart from your works, and I will show you my faith ^aoby my works. 19 ^apYou believe that God is one; you do well. Even ^aqthe demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 ^arWas not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that ^asfaith was active along with his works, and faith was completed ^atby his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, ^au“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a ^avfriend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also ^awRahab the prostitute justified by works ^axwhen she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
