When Calling Jesus "Lord" Isn't Enough To Enter Heaven
Tuesday, 9 September, 2025
Jesus warns of the terrifying reality that many who call Him "Lord" and even perform impressive religious deeds will be rejected from the Kingdom of Heaven because they never truly knew Him.• Matthew 7:21-23 contains some of the most frightening words in the Bible: "I never knew you"• Jesus consistently presents us with choices: two gates, two paths, two types of trees, two foundations• The true test of discipleship comes when God's will conflicts with our own desires• It's possible to know about Jesus without truly knowing Him personally• RC Sproul's conversion story shows how even religious leaders can be spiritually lost• Genuine salvation requires both personal relationship with Jesus and obedience to the Father• Many assume they are Christians because they attend church or think well of Jesus• True salvation comes through repentance and faith, not religious performance• The Lord knows those who are His – we enter heaven on His terms, not ours• Jesus offers a beautiful marriage-like relationship to all who come to Him in faithDon't just think you're saved because you attend church or have done things in Jesus's name. Make sure you are born again – that Jesus is not just part of your life, but is your life. Repent of your sins and ask Him to be your personal savior.
