What did Jesus say about those who call him Lord?
By: Robert A. Searles
How sad and horrifying it would be to come to the end of our days
and meet with God only to hear him say unto us, depart from me for I
never knew you!
Many have taught and preached about Jesus Christ, but have never
experienced a personal relationship with him. Many have adhered to his
philosophy of good works and charity and morality, thinking that this
is all that is required to enter heaven. There are many who believe
that going through the ritual of baptism and church membership and
sacrificial giving will guarantee their entrance into heaven.
Jesus explained that more is required than all this, yet nothing that we have or can do will give us access to God's heaven.
Jesus said that they that do the will of God shall enter into
heaven. What is the will of God? The will of God for all people is that
they be saved - that they acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as God in
human flesh, and acknowledge that the only way to God is through him.
The will of God for each of us is to admit that we are sinful, helpless
creatures, doomed to eternal hell unless God pours out his grace and
mercy upon us. Jesus said that we must be born again, that is, become
new creatures in Christ, having a personal, one on one, relationship
with him as our Lord and Savior
God has promised that he will save us and apply the blood of Jesus
Christ to our account and make us his children and grant that personal
relationship with him if we will approach him by faith and ask him to
save us.
Jesus warned: "Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter in to the kingdom of heaven : but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven. Many will say to 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 don
