The End of Mercy and Grace
Matthew 7:15-23
Jesus warns us that at the Judgment many will be shocked when they are turned away from heaven, having been deceived by false prophets and also deceived themselves.
It takes faith, but not supermarket pick-and-choose faith. It takes the faith that is laid out in God’s word, the Bible, from cover to cover, beginning in Genesis and ending in the Book of Revelations.
It takes utter faith in God, trusting in Him, and acting out of that trust.
As you listen to this message, I encourage you to take Jesus’ warning seriously yourselves, and think hard on this subject of salvation. We need to think very hard about whether we really know and do God’s will—because Jesus’ chilling warning here was not intended just for us to point the finger at someone else. It’s intended to make us think about our own lives—whether we both practice God’s will and share an accurate version of the Gospel by which people may truly be saved.
