Matthew 7:21-23 - “I never knew you.”

Near the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives His disciples three dire warnings concerning false prophets, false professions, and faulty foundations. In our last study, we thoughtfully considered those who present themselves as sheep but are inwardly ravenous wolves.

This past Sunday, we turned our attention to Jesus’ second warning about false professions. How could someone say and do all the right things and not be a born-again believer and be saved? 

We see an example of a false prophet and a false profession in the same person in Acts 8 as we consider the careful warning of Jesus we read in Matthew 7:21-23.
