MATTHEW 7:21-23.
Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through thy name, and through thy name cast out demons, and through thy name done many works of power? and than I will avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.
Who are these self-styled “miracle” workers? They profess to know the Lord. “Lord, Lord,” they say.
They thus claim consideration from Him. We have done all these things in Thy name, they claim. With what solemn and final words He answers: “I NEVER KNEW YOU. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.” What a shock this will be for these wonder workers. How could He say I NEVER KNEW YOU if these are persons who were once saved and then lost again?
My sheep hear my voice, and I KNOW THEM, and they follow me; and I give unto them life eternal; and they shall never perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand. (John 10:27, 28).
Concerning His sheep, Christ says, I KNOW THEM. If you say that Matt. 7:21-23 refers to Lost again Christians, then you are guilty of treating the Lord as a Liar when He said to them I NEVER KNEW YOU. Those ‘miracle’ workers never were the Lord’s sheep. They professed to know Him but it was not real. Beware! These people are disguised as ‘Christians’, they claim to work miracles, but Christ does not know them though they call Him “Lord, Lord”. But they are workers of lawlessness; i.e., they work their own will. Judas is the great and terrible example of a person like this. No one suspected him right up to the last; except that our Lord, of course, knew his true character all along (John 6:64-71). He was chosen to be one of the 12 to serve afterward as an example of how far false profession can deceive others.
