Away from Me!
"Not every person that says that I am his Lord will enter the
kingdom of heaven. The only people that will enter the
kingdom of heaven are those people that do the things that my
Father in heaven wants. On the last day many people will say
to me, 'You are our Lord! We spoke for you. And for you we
forced out demons and did many miracles.' Then I will tell
those people clearly, 'Go away from me, you people that do
wrong. I never knew you.'"
-- Matthew 7:21-23 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
While you can fool all of the people some of the time, you can never
fool the Lord at any time! False teachers may deceive others, but never
the Lord. Substituting proclamations of faith for a life of faith won't
cut it. Substituting mighty acts in Jesus' name for living a life of
righteousness won't cut it either. Deception, sham, falsehood,
manipulation, and hype are works of the Evil One and will be handled as
such by the conquering Savior.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy Lord, I want to follow you: not just in talk, but also in word and
deed. Almighty Lord, I want to reflect your character: not just in
Bible study, but also in daily lifestyle. I want to know you by knowing
your character, service, and righteousness through living them in my
life. In the name of your holy Son, I pray. Amen.
