Matthew 7:15-23 Specifically versee 21
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
I lot of so-called christians need to wake up and realize it is repentance followed by belief in the son. Then continual repentenance (I did not say forgiveness for Christ work on the cross has already forgiven those sins we will comitt). Too many have fallen to the americanized belief that you can give God "lip service" one time claim only the Grace and never come face to face with their own wicked souls. I believe if a lot of Christians examined themselves they would see a lack of Good Fruit (Galatians 5:12) and a lack of continual repentance (Isaiah 30:12, 2 Cor 7:10, Revelation 2:4-5)
We should all continually test ourselves and see if we are or ever were in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5).
We are to be sanctified and made like Christ. Look and see how different Christ was from those around him, even those who believed in him, he was still so radical. Ephesians says to imitate Christ, Christ lived to serve the lord, his "food" was the work of God. What does that say to us?
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
