There's your Lordship Salvation crowd in our text passage. They cried out “Lord, Lord,” but He did not know who they are. Lordship Salvation is a damnable false doctrine, a counterfeit gospel, which cannot produce the new birth in Christ Jesus. I find it highly ironic that the Bible would contain such a Scripture passage, when we've got a bunch of false teachers in church circles today, requiring people to make Jesus the absolute “Lord” of their life to be saved. They say the proof you are saved is that you have turned away from your sins. Folks, that is Calvinism! That is works salvation! That is not the Gospel of free grace. The Bible plainly teaches in 1st John 3:24 that the evidence of one's salvation is the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit, which only you and God can see. 1st John 3:24, “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”
Jesus warned everyone in Matthew 7:21-23 that no matter how dedicated you may be to serving Him, that won't get you to Heaven. Please listen friend, because this is a matter of life and death. The Lord did not know this group of religious people! They cried out in their self-defense saying, “We prophesied IN THY NAME, we did many wonderful works IN THY NAME, we cast of devils IN THY NAME,” but Jesus said the horrifying words: “I NEVER KNEW YOU!” They spent their lives LIVING FOR JESUS. They lived lifestyles of repentance to prove the reality of their repentance (as Ray Comfort foolishly teaches).
Dear reader, will you also hear those horrifying words one day in eternity—I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY!!! They said they had done “MANY WONDERFUL WORKS,” but what they called “wonderful” Jesus called “iniquity”!!! Why did Jesus say that? Why were their good works iniquity? What saith the Scriptures. Isaiah 64:6, “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” What an astounding truth—all of our righteousnesses are as FILTHY RAGS in the sight of God almighty! Let me ask you a question—If we cannot be saved by filthy rags, then why would you use those filthy rags to prove that you're saved?
That is why Jesus said He did not know these religious people—because they went about to establish their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, instead of trusting in GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS through faith alone in Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:9; Romans 10:3-4). You need “HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS” (John 6:33b). Will Christ one day deny knowing you friend? He will if you follow the junk theology of John MacArthur, Moody Bible Institute, John Piper, Ray Comfort, R.C. Sproul, Paul Washer, Chip Ingram, William Lane Craig, Charles Lawson and other reprobate Calvinists!!! Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” That is why the folks didn't make it to Heaven in Matthew 7:21-23, they were self-righteous.
The dope crowd will not destroy America. The homosexual crowd will not destroy America. The baby killers will not destroy America. The communists will not destroy America. The Hollywood crowd will not destroy America. If America is destroyed, it will be destroyed because of the pastors who substituted visions, prophecies, dreams, man’s words, and tongues for the very words of God. Our God is not a God of "confusion." Yet, Satan is accomplishing "confusion" through 1,000 perversions of the Scriptures on the market. —Pastor Bob Gray Sr., “Do We have An Every Word Bible In 2017?”
