"Not every one that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say unto me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out
devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:21-23)
The Bible says in Luke 6:46, “Why call ye me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and
not do the things I say?”
Jesus comes straight ahead and He says, “Why call ye Me, ‘Lord,
Lord’ and not do the things I say?” “If you call Me, ‘Lord’ it means that you’re
willing to Follow Me and Obey Me. But if you’re not going to
follow me, don’t call Me Lord.” You’re wasting your breath, and deceiving yourself.
It is an insult to Jesus, to say, “Lord, Lord” fervently and to be
too busy and active to withhold true allegiance and submission to Him; to
retain control over our own lives and to allow our own opinions and arguments
rather than those of scripture to control what we do and how we do it.
The
greatest insult to Jesus Christ is a will that is not completely and entirely
surrendered to Him. However great our offerings and sacrifices, however
wonderful our works in His name, it will benefit us nothing if we are not truly
committed to God the Father and Jesus Christ
Does Jesus know you? Does he know you intimately? Or are you just
kidding yourself? Hard questions, but Eternally Important questions.
