"Lord, Lord..."

Lord, Lord...

The words of Jesus in Matthew 7 is a passage of Scripture that sends a jolt of panic down the

spines of many Christians.

Should they? We can emphatically answer, NO!

Those who the Lord casts out are those who look to themselves and their own works for justification. Read Matt 7: 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, **did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

But those who rest in Christ's work, by grace, through faith alone have eternal life.

Read John 3: 16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Brothers and Sisters: All the terror of God's anger and wrath is done away. Rest in Jesus! The life He lived, the death He died, all He has done outside of you, for you has fully provided for your salvation.
