Matthew 25:45
The right balance here is to do what we do for the sake of Christ. All that is done for others must be done for Him. Simply doing good works, or simply being ‘good’ people, is not enough. Jesus teaches us to do things for Him, and in doing that, we do for others. This is what these miss. They are judged not for failing to be ‘good’ as best as anyone can on their own. They are judged instead for the fact that that goodness, outside of Christ, is worthless. All glory belongs to Him. Thus, man is basically evil, not good, and He alone may change that.
