What does the Bible say
about the Future of Man?
2 Corinthians 5:10, For we must all appear before the judgment
seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body,
according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Matthew 7:13-14, Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate
and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by
it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life,
and there are few who find it.
Matthew 25:31-46, When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all
the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the
throne of His glory. All the nations
will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a
shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the
left. Then the King will say to those on
His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave
Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me
in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in
prison and you came to Me.’ ‘Then
the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry
and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You
a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them,
‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of
these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
‘Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart
from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his
angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me
no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not
clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ ‘Then they also will answer Him,
saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or
naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying,
‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the
least of these, you did not do it to Me.’
And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous
into eternal life.’
