One of the most terrifying passages found in all the Bible can be read at  Matthew 7:21–23. In that text Jesus warned His audience saying, "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

​

Jesus is talking about people who have missed their opportunity for eternal salvation. Let that sink in for a moment. 

​

We're all going to die someday. Even if you don't believe in God or the Bible - even if there's a chance that something like this could happen to you in the afterlife, isn't it at least worth investigating?

​

What's amazing here is that the people Jesus says are lost aren't average people. These are religious people. They were even religious people who seemed to have supernatural gifts from God. They could prophesy, cast out demons and so all sorts of wonders. Jesus is describing the very people who often tell us they have the  corner on the truth. They (and often they alone) can tell us the way to obtain eternal life. Was Jesus trying to warn us that not all religious groups who label themselves as God's people actually are? (I think He was.)

 

So, if a religious person who can supposedly prophesy and cast out demons and perform all sorts of supernatural signs could be lost what about you and I?

We'd better make sure we get this right!
