The Sheep and the Goats

Every Christian ought to repent, for from this parable we learn that it is not only doing evil that condemns a person, but failure to do good. That's a more difficult matter. And we need to resolve to do better, always. Yet how can be gain assurance of being among the sheep and not the goats, then? Not from merit or deeds, but by grace. For the only help for us is in Christ, who is himself  the Judge and Shepherd. He has done all, for us. And we who are in him by faith must also have works. That is, faith without works is nothing. Therefore the works must be  there, even if we cannot always tell what they are, like the righteous, who said, when did we do these things? So  then, let us repent and do better, but always live by faith alone in him.
