Choosing His Kingdom: Matthew 7:21-29

Jesus teaches us how to choose God's Kingdom first in the famous Sermon on the Mount .

It’s encouraging that a great actor like Richard Dreyfus became a believer and now preaches 😃

Matthew 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.

The corn. ( What he said, first he did last.) so the last shall be first.

Matthew 21:30. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

The corn. ( What he said last he did first.) and the first last.
For many be called, to hear this, but few chosen to believe it.

God, reveals the image of his structure through the likeness of his creative word.

Do??? Didn't Jesus "DO" it all on the cross? All we Christians have to "do" is believe that Jesus died for us. That's it for salvation. Now discipleship/fellowship is another story... that is what the judgement at the Bema seat IN heaven is all about... rewards and inherentances (5 crowns) for Christians. That's how I learned and understand it.

[terierichards]

Jesus was talking about unbelievers, false prophets. In order to be saved we must believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and that he died on the cross for our sins was buried and rose again on the third day.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We don’t have to make a commitment for salvation, that comes AFTER we’re saved.

Why were those in Matthew 7:21-23 not saved? Jesus tells us plainly, they were trusting in what they did and not what Jesus did for us. John 6;40. And this is the will of Him who sent me, that ALL that seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on Him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:29 Jesus, answered, and said unto them, this is the work of God, that ye believe on the one He has sent.

Romans 6:23. For the penalty for sin is physical death, BUT, (the good news) THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

First Corinthians 9:13. Thanks be to God for His UNSPEAKABLE GIFT, ETERNAL LIFE. No one can earn it.

All the good works in the world can not save sinners which we all are. First John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

The gospel we believe. First Corinthians 15:1-4. Romans 1:16. Galatians 1:6-9.

So if we're a false convert, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT!?

[lanemorrison]

Calvinism. So which judgement are you talking about? There are four of them: 1) Bema seat IN heaven. 2)Sheep and goat judgement ON earth. 3) Judgement in the wilderness ON earth.. And 4) The Great White throne judgement ON earth at the end of the millenial kingdom. Matthew 7:21-23 was to the pharisees of his day. Not to the church. The church wasn't even started or spoken of at the time of the sermon on the mt. Fyi, Jesus was speaking to Jews at the sermon on the mount. Context context context "pastor"... excellent motivational speech though. 👍

[m.cliff.e]

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (KJV) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

[danielgaffney]

The kingdom of heaven is a physical Kingdom (1000 year Millennium) and Jesus isn't talking about heaven. The "on that day" verse 22 Christ is taking about the Great White throne Judgement. This is after the tribulation period where unbelievers will face judgement. The will of the Father is found in John 6:40 for this is the will of My Father, that anyone who looks on the son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

[nopretribrapture]

No one 100% knows their saved untill the day of judgement, according to the scriptures, most go to hell >> Matthew 7:22, 23

[Yestai]

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them" Paul abolished the laws ."who does the will of my Father" Christians doing what Paul and others created .Isa /Pbuh/ never knew you. Truth is in Islam, not in Christianity

22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I workers of lawlessness.’
Who calls jesus Lord lord? Christians
Who prophecies in jesus? Christians
Who cast demons in jesus name? Christians
Who do mighty works and wonder in jesus name? Christians
This verse is talking explicitly to you Christians
Wake up!
