Why does Jesus divide them by type before He ever mentions what they did or didn't do? Why are both groups equally confused about their works when Jesus judges them? Why do the sheep insist they didn't do enough good works, while the goats are shocked they missed any? If the goats actually did good works, why are they still condemned? Watch the full video on YouTube to discover why this isn't teaching about earning salvation through works, but about who you already are in Christ. #higherthings #lcms #lutheran #lent If you have questions or topics that you'd like discussed on Higher Things, email them to content@higherthings.org Subscribe to our channel to get notifications when we go live: http://youtube.com/@HTgospel4all To support the work of Higher Things®, visit https://higherthings.org/morehi/giving/ For more information about Higher Things, go to http://higherthings.org ------ Join the conversation on Social Media: http://facebook.com/higherthings http://instagram.com/higherthings https://www.tiktok.com/@higherthings
