More than mere profession of faith – Matt 7:21-23
Jesus has been shooting straight from the hip in the last few days. He states here that not everyone who calls Him Lord will enter the Kingdom. This is a reality for those in Christian cults. Certain cults today have a Jesus in their central doctrines but this Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible. He may be the younger brother of satan or a created being and not God. The unfortunate truth is that these sincere people have lived their lives serving an organization or religious system thinking they have attained salvation through works or religious teaching and in reality they never knew the Lord.
Those who enter the Kingdom do the will of the Father in heaven. Jesus is the only way, truth and life the Father has given. It is through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ salvation has been secured. By His broken body and shed blood that have we been made whole.
Jesus states these people will prophesy, cast out demons and do wonderful works in His name but they never knew Him. Jesus will call them workers of iniquity. Imagine going through your life thinking you are right with God and finding out you were not. Jesus states you are the Lord’s when you do the will of the Father. Today make that your aim and goal so you will not have any surprises at the end of life.
