I NEVER KNEW YOU

Matthew 7:21-23

Introduction:

  • The occasion – “that day”
  • The issue – who “shall enter the kingdom of heaven”
  • The judge – “Me” (Christ)
  • The KEY – “I never knew you”

I. A FALSE PROFESSION

  • Many believe they will end up in heaven
  • Many actually will end up in hell

  • Based on their words
  • Based on their works

  • The reason - sin against God
  • The result - separation from God

II. A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP

  • A genuine relationship with Christ is established by faith
  • A genuine relationship with Christ is evidenced by fruit

Conclusion: Are you saved? Are you sure?
