Treatment of others
Jesus Christ told us clearly that our eternal destiny is aligned to our treatment of others.
He warns us, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, that you do unto me."
In other words, our actions towards each other are done to the Godhead Himself; so closely does God ally Himself to His suffering people.
Jesus further warns that those who saw His suffering in His people when sick and in prison, and did not look after Him, will be held accountable. [Matthew Chapter 25] [4]
