Pastor Eric Harrelson – Executive Pastor
Stand Alone Sermon – Matthew 7:21-23
Matthew 7:21-23 NIV
21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
1. Intellectual acknowledgement of Jesus won’t save you
James 2:19 NIV
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
2. Doing things for God, won’t save you
Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
3. Only doing the will of the Father will save you
John 6:40 ESV
For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
