We continue our exploration of the Sermon on the Mount as we move on to Matthew 7:13-23 which concludes with Jesus making a statement that should terrify anyone who doesn’t really know Him. In verses 22 and 23, Jesus said, “On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’” We need to be sure that we are not doing things for God thinking that we can earn His approval. If we expect to enter into His Kingdom, our service must be a result of our relationship with Him, not a means of earning that relationship.
