The truth we all need to hear 🙌🏾🙏🏾

This is definitely one of the most terrifying scriptures in the whole Bible.

Scary!! 🥲 in as much as it’s great to do God’s work, the ultimate is to focus on HIM..

5. Most Christians live like a football fan. They cheer for their team on Sunday, “Go Jesus, Go” but then go home & live their lives. But the football players train every day and do the work, and who will get the crown at the end? The fans or the players? Read the Bible and do it

I have a honest question: how did they perform many miracles "in His name" if they are workers of iniquity? I think of 2 categories: a) those who perform miracles with demonic powers b) those who were once filled with the Holy Spirit but later lost their way Are there others?

So then…what does it mean to know God? And what does it mean for Him to know you? How does one know? Examine yourself indeed…. But what is it you hope to find?

As much as this is terrifying and makes me scared when I come across this verse I know it also mentions “Only those who follow the will of my father will see the kingdom of God” So those blessed with the holy spirit and still didn't follow the 10 commandments of God will perish.

3. One of the reasons why God might not know you is because you don’t obey His command to be Saved. You hold on to John 3:16 and don’t read the first part of the conversation in John 3:1-6, which says you must be born of water and Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. Need both!

4. Everyone is created by God but not everyone is God’s adopted child. Read Galatians 5:19-21, you keep living like that, you won’t enter the Kingdom of God. S*x outside of marriage?, you won’t make it in. Read it.

So then…what does it mean to know God? And what does it mean for Him to know you? How does one know? Examine yourself indeed…. But what is it you hope to find? My answer is below.... It's what Jesus says next that reveals who he is talking to. Matthew 7:23, Jesus specifically says, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness." It is not about our mistakes or sinning occasionally, but living in a state of ongoing rebellion, without repentance. Those who make a practice of it. With that considered, the opposite must also be true; Those who do not make a practice of lawlessness can feel assured that they do in fact know Christ. Not due to your own might but due to then Holy Spirit dwelling within you, you can examine yourself and see that inner change is occurring. Christlikeness. This will be seen by the fruits of our character, by His Holy Spirit; Love; joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These virtues characterize a life led by the Holy Spirit. This is how we know
