AN ETERNAL TRAGEDY
PART 2
"Not everyone who says to Me 'Lord, Lord,'
will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.
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?
And then I will declare to them,
'I never knew you; depart from Me,
you who practice lawlessness."
Matthew 7:21-23 (BOLD MINE)

Have you ever really studied this passage of scripture? Do you understand its implications? This isn't a warning to the world...it is a rebuke to the church!
-Where do you find people who have no problem calling Jesus "Lord"? That's right, in the church!
-And where do you find people involved in prophecy, deliverance, and miracles? That's right, in the church!
In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus is talking to the "many" people in the church who think they are saved...but are not!

In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus is talking to the "many" people in the church who think they are saved...but are not!
And HOW IN THE WORLD IS THIS POSSIBLE? How could this happen? How could such sincere individuals be so deceived?
"For false Christs and false prophets will arise
and will show great signs and wonders,
so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect."
and will show great signs and wonders,
so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect."
Matthew 24:24
Do you know what "false Christs" and "false prophets" produce?
False gospels (see 2 Timothy 4:3-4). By the way, "many" of today's most popular preachers are classic examples!

That's right, people in the church who think they are saved...but are not.
It's An Eternal Tragedy.
