Quote:


21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven,




Jesus tells us that not everyone who uses His name will enter the Kingdom of heaven. Who is He speaking of?

Quote:


but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’



It says here; people that prophesied in His name, cast out demons, and done many wonders. So what is it that separates these out from others?

Quote:


23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’




Those without law who practice lawlessness in other words.


lawless

adjective
1.
contrary to or without regard for the law:
lawless violence.
2.
being without law; uncontrolled by a law; unbridled; unruly; unrestrained:
lawless passion.
3.
illegal:

Those without regard for the law or being without law. I know many will start thinking grace, were under grace and not under the law. But many don't quote; Grace is not a license to sin. Yes, Grace is a blessing from God, His unmerited favor towards us who believe, but it does not become a license to practice lawlessness.

Jesus went on to say: 24 “Therefore whoever "hears" these sayings of Mine, and does them,



Its important to not only hear the sayings of Jesus but to actually do them. Its one thing to quote the Bible its another thing to do it.

While many today want loopholes in the scriptures to make excuses for sin, and following the way of the world, Jesus tells us that the wise man is the one who hears His sayings and does them. Their not looking for loopholes so they can practice lawlessness.

Paul tells us in Corinthians:

16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18
“I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

There is a separation that takes place and God says to come out from among them. The wise man will hear the sayings and practice what Jesus tells us in His word. Many today will tell us that Jesus hung out with the sinners. How are we going to reach them if we don't hang out with them?

The difference is; Jesus was not there for fellowship and entertainment, but He was there ministering concerning the things of the Kingdom.

There are many churches now saying: "were an inclusive church", then they try telling everyone how Jesus loved the sinners. Another Jesus is being proclaimed in this country, that we don't find in the Bible. Many voices are saying many things but a lot of information is not found in God's Word.

The Gospels were written for believers who can hear His Words and are willing to lay down all to do them. A wise man will hear and understand in this hour.
