Many people say that they believe in Jesus, and profess to be Christians, but they do not know Him, nor follow Him. Their faith is in vain, because they will not enter heaven.
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 in heaven. 22Many 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?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’" Matthew 7:21-23.
Many believers only believe in Jesus but they do not know Him, neither does He know them. We only get to know Jesus if we obey His words, as also recorded in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, because if we obey Jesus then He reveals Himself to us.
Do you know Jesus? Do you obey Him and follow Him? Have repented and been baptized in water? Have you received the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to those who love Him? Has Jesus revealed Himself to you and do you know Him? Does Jesus know you, or will He say to you:"I never knew you; depart from Me, you worker of lawlessness."?
May Jesus bless you.
