I know brothers that many of you are afraid of these verses Matthew 7:21-23 NIV “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers. But this isn't talking about you let's explain. It says only the one that does The Will of The Father. And what's The Will Of The Father is to Believe in The Lord Jesus Christ and have a relationship with Him. These Verses are talking about The Man or Woman who grew up Christian but never truly cared or understood there Faith never giving it a second point, it's a point beyond lukewarmness it's just a point where you believe of God but not in Him. In other words cultural Christianity. As God approached them they tried to say all their Good Works to get into Heaven. They dared challenged God by trying to say they earned their way into Heaven, and thought there good works saved them. This shows a complete lack of any understanding of The Gospel which is that non of us are good people and Christ died for our sins, even though we deserved death for what we had done. These people who never had a Relationship with God dared say to His faith I deserve to get into Heaven, and at that point it makes sense that He said likewise I never knew you; because they never knew Him. Now therefore then this is why those verses do not apply to you.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s very helpful and inspiring to understand that more clearly! Blessings to you.
"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep."
