Fairness of God for All

After the separation, the krisis, the final judgment, the krima, will occur, Matthew 25:46.

⁴⁶And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

The Goats receive everlasting punishment.  The sheep will receive eternal life.  Again, it should be clear that the sheep are not present day believers.  Believers today when they come back with Yeshua already have eternal life, John 3:15.

¹⁵That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Believers have a present possession of eternal life.  It is an incorruptible seed that was planted at the inception of salvation, as it will be for the sheep at the end of the millennium.  Believers do not go through the separation of the Sheep and Goats.  Believers of today have eternal life.  Their salvation is certainly not based on what they have done, Ephesians 2:8-9.

⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast.

But the Sheep and the Goats, when Yeshua comes a second time and sets up His kingdom for a 1000 years, there is a judgment.  It is for those that have never had a true opportunity to hear the authentic gospel.  One group, the sheep, will live eternally.  The other group, the goats, go into absolute condemnation.  But it will not be because they have never heard about Yeshua.  It will be, because they rejected every opportunity that God gave them.  Thus the wonderful fairness of God.
