He does the will of my Father
Jesus said,
"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only 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 drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" Matthew 7:21-23.
There are many people in the world today who call themselves Christians but are not. From what they do and say it may seem that they are Christians. The reality however is they are not.
Jesus said these people will say to Him on that day,
"...‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
Thus we who truly believe in God and the Salvation that comes through Christ Jesus need to be aware of these false prophets and teachers.
We need to read the scriptures for ourselves so we know what is right and wrong. Additionally we need to look at the preachers, teachers and evangelist we follow to see if they are truly following God.
The apostle Paul tells us that while we are not to judge those outside the church we have the right to judge those inside. Paul writes,
"What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you." 1 Corinthians 5:12,13.
Are you doing this? Is the church congregation you attend standing up to false teacher, preachers, and evangelist?
Please think about it.
