SAYING OR DOING
Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Personal Challenge
Christianity is quickly becoming a label that we apply to ourselves because we find it easy and beneficial for us. Jesus makes it clear here that we are not His followers just because we proclaim it so. We are His followers if we follow Him. We must be doing the will of His Father, which will almost always be contradictory to the things of this world. If we are not loving our neighbor and caring for those in need, then we are not following Him. If we are doing whatever we want, whenever we want, and not submitting to Him, then we are not following Him. He wants us to practice what He preaches, not just preach it. Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on are, the sinner!
