The song from childhood still rings in the ears, “I don’t wanna be a goat! Nope! I don’t wanna be a goat! Nope! Always livin’ without hope! Nope! I don’t wanna be a goat! Nope!” There are a number of reasons (including physical ones) that “I don’t wanna be a goat!” But, in particular, the nature of a goat does not match the nature 
of a faithful Christian.
Goats are stubborn and ornery creatures! Try to move them or direct them, and you will often be met with resistance. That is just the opposite of how God describes the demeanor of a Christian–kind, tender, gentle, willing to yield (Eph. 4:32; Phil. 4:5; Jas. 3:17). Goats are also terrible followers! They’d rather be in charge than to follow the lead. Again, just the opposite of the relationship I am to have with my Shepherd–as a faithful follower (John 10:4; 1 Pet. 2:21).
When Jesus returns, he will gather the sheep and the goats before Him (Matt. 25:32-33). Read the words He will say to the goats in Matthew 25:41. “I don’t wanna be a goat! Nope!”
