Follows God’s Word
Matthew 25:35-40
“For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.” The righteous will answer Him, “Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed you, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger and invite you in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?” The King will answer and say to them, “Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even to the least of them, you did it to Me.”
