Does Christ Know You?

Come to Jesus as a sinner, knowing how much sin hurts God. Be grieved over sin. Change your mind about sin & about Christ!

Too many people came to Christ because they were having a hard life and wanted to be bailed out of it. Others came to Christ to be elevated by others as special and superior.

The only people who will be born again and changed into a new creation by Christ will be those who come to Christ broken over their sinfulness, confessing their need for the Savior and praying to be cleansed by Christ.

Only then will Christ come to live in them and seal them with His Holy Spirit. If you have come to Christ for any other reason than to be humbled can saved from your sin and hell, then you came in the back door and will not be saved.

Matthew 7:21-23
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.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"

I call this the most frightening passage in the Bible. When someone thinks all their life that they are going to heaven but is met with the words at the gate; "I NEVER KNEW YOU."
