The only way to go to God, is when we have God reaching out to us, because He finds His lost sheep, He is their Shepherd.
The good Shepherd layed HIs life down for the sheep, and did not flee when the wolves came for the sheep, but all who do not care for the sheep flee, ( everybody who was before Christ.)
The good news is, that the sheep do not hear the voice of strangers. ( God is against the false shepherds and against the goats)
Ezekiel 34:11 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold,
I,
even I, will
both search my
sheep, and seek them out.
Zechariah 10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the
shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his
goodly horse in the battle.
John 10:11-18 I am the
good shepherd: the
good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
Matthew 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The goats are cursed, who speak and do not do what they say.
During them saying and not doing, they make merchandise of you with feigned words. ( many follow that subtle way of the false teachers.)
They speak great swelling words of vanity, promise you liberty, and they are secretly servants of corruption.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
