What Matthew 7:21-23 Really Means ✝️ - @givemeananswer @GeorgeJanko

[DelawareDisciple]

Let’s not leave out, Mathew’s 7:21 second half of the verse only those that do the will of my father which is in heaven.

John 6:40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, stop trusting in yourself and your works.

Matthew 7 21-23 lives rent free in my head.

[drlizacirebon]

(Ingatlah) ketika Allah berfirman, “Wahai Isa putra Maryam, apakah engkau mengatakan kepada orang-orang, ‘Jadikanlah aku dan ibuku sebagai dua tuhan selain Allah?’” Dia (Isa) menjawab, “Mahasuci Engkau, tidak patut bagiku mengatakan apa pun yang bukan hakku. Jika aku pernah mengatakannya tentulah Engkau telah mengetahuinya. Engkau mengetahui apa pun yang ada pada diriku dan aku tidak mengetahui apa pun yang ada pada diri-Mu. Sungguh, Engkaulah Yang Maha Mengetahui segala yang gaib.”

Tafsir

Beberapa ayat sebelumnya menjelaskan nikmat Allah yang dianugerahkan kepada Nabi Isa, termasuk nikmat mendapat pengikut setia dan turunnya hidangan dari langit. Pada ayat ini, Allah meminta pertanggungjawaban Nabi Isa tentang sikap Bani Israil yang mempertuhankan dirinya dan ibunya. Dan ingatlah, wahai Nabi Muhammad apa yang akan terjadi pada hari kiamat, ketika Allah berfirman kepada Nabi Isa, “Wahai Isa putra Maryam! Apa engkau pernah mengatakan kepada orang-orang, jadikanlah aku dan ibuku sebagai dua tuhan selain Allah yang menyebabkan mereka meyakini trinitas, tiga tuhan, hingga menyimpang dari ajaran tauhid?” Nabi Isa menjawab di hadapan Allah di akhirat, “Mahasuci Engkau dari apa yang mereka nisbahkan kepadaMu; tidak patut bagiku sebagai hamba-Mu dan Rasul-Mu, mengatakan kepada manusia yang bukan kebenaran, yakni mempertuhankan manusia dan menyembahnya sehingga menyimpang dari ajaran tauhid. Jika aku, selama hidupku yang singkat di dunia, pernah mengatakannya, menjadikan aku dan ibuku dua tuhan selain Engkau, ya Allah, tentulah Engkau telah mengetahuinya. Sebab, Engkau mengetahui apa yang ada pada diriku, yang tampak dan yang tersembunyi, dan aku sebagai manusia sangat terbatas, tidak mengetahui apa yang ada pada-Mu. Sungguh merupakan keharusan yang mutlak, Engkaulah, Tuhan, Yang Maha Mengetahui segala yang gaib, tersembunyi dari pandangan dan pengetahuan manusia.”

Matthew 7 is warning against false prophets. Specifically, those who are trying to "earn" their way in by their marvelous "works." However, salvation is NOT OF WORKS.
Instead, the “narrow way” is trusting CHRIST ALONE for your ticket to heaven. 

You either believe that JESUS CHRIST paid for ALL of your sins (past, present, AND future)...or you don't (and are thus trying to “earn” your way in). 

Sadly, the majority of people fall into the latter group. This is the “WIDE gate…that leads to destruction” (Matthew 7:13).

Salvation, after all, is a FREE GIFT- “NOT OF WORKS” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

If you can't say, right this moment, that you KNOW you have everlasting life, then you're either: not trusting what Christ did, or not trusting what Christ said.

The Gospel is simple, and here it is: CHRIST PAID FOR MY SINS. The moment you believe He paid for YOURS, you can be sure you're going to heaven. That's not just good news, it's the best news ever. Take care friends IN CHRIST.

Jesus already prophesied ini Mathew 7:15 that one day paul will come to teach "we can go to heaven with just only accept jesus as lord". Thats why jesus said that will not come to kingdom of heaven except obey the law of the father which is Pentateukh and contradict with Paul teaching that " Torah was dismissed due to Jusus crucifixion.

Isa is talking to is disciples and crowd of people. What he’s actually saying is those who pray and perform miracles in the name of “Jesus” are the people he will not recognize. Only those who do everything in the name of God. Not himself.

[Audieel]

This guy totally twisting the verses..Jesus will call them lawless people..which means that he will disown those totally who didn't keep the law!!! But this guy is turning the real meanings upside down although the text is clear and tell u that Jesus will disown lawless people (e.g those who commit adultary! Boyfriend/girlfriend relationship!)

Matthew 7 21-23 makes me think. This is how Jesus will respond to televangelists. "If you truly did these works in my name. Why didn't I get top billing?"

[EricSmythChrist]

It’s more about not being bad in those verses

[masterpiece]

Start at verse 15 for context of who Jesus is talking to.

[sarryuken]

He missed out the main bit where it says about casting out demons in Jesus name and prophesying in his name, ie the church.
Jesus will say to them away from me you evildoers.

[KenjiHouston]

Just like the goats from the judgment, Matthew 25, they probably thought they had an excellent relationship with Jesus.

Jesus says, in this passage, you have to do the will of the Father. Goats only have surface level observance. It is mainly for show. God is not a cosmic vending machine.

Relationship with, knowing, God, and doing the will of God go hand in hand.

[Dogmacracy]

It also contradicts popular Christianity today that says you’re saved by placing your faith in Jesus alone. You need both faith AND works.

isnt lawlessness sin?? wordly living? wilful sin? msot christians do that,

[sarwatismail]

he's a prophet he did not even correct them if he was god he would have corrected him Luke 7:16 says:
“A great prophet has appeared among us, ” they said. “God has come to help his people.”

Key Point:
This is two separate statements:

“A great prophet has appeared among us” → They call Jesus a prophet.

“God has come to help his people” → This is a figure of speech, meaning God helped them by sending a prophet.
Matthew 13:57
“A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”

Jesus refers to himself as a prophet here, echoing what many prophets before him experienced.
Luke 24:19 context:
Two followers of Jesus are walking on the road to Emmaus. They’re sad and talking to a man (who is actually Jesus, but they don’t recognize him yet).

They say:

“Jesus of Nazareth was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.”
John 6:14
“Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

After Jesus feeds 5, 000, the crowd identifies him as the Prophet (a reference to Deuteronomy 18:18—about a prophet like Moses).
come to islam before its too late

[Jehucurlisskings]

Man you don't even get it, either or you would have mentioned the ten commandments are still law
