This could possibly be the scariest passage of scripture that there is. Jesus proclaims that there will be many who say to Him Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In fact, He says that many will say on that day that they drove out demons in His name, prophesied in His name, etc. and He will say to them I never knew you…away from me you evildoer. Jesus says the only one’s who will enter the Kingdom of Heaven will be those who do the will of God in Heaven.
Basically what Jesus is saying here is that we can’t just claim to follow Jesus and be saved. We can’t just attend church, go through the motions, and expect that to be enough. Jesus expects all or nothing from us…that’s not my words but His. Today, examine your heart. Are you all in? If not, on that day, Jesus will say to you I never knew you…away from me you evildoer.
