Let’s Closely Examine this Key Scripture:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Matthew 7:21\u201323 (KJV) Jesus Addressing the Many Christian Leaders<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNot every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?<\/span><\/p>\n

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Please\u00a0 examine this alarming ministry passage:<\/span><\/p>\n

I. Overview of Matthew 7:21\u201323: What Did Jesus Actually Say<\/strong>?<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of the most sobering warnings Jesus ever gave \u2014 and He gave it to religious people. Not unbelievers.<\/strong> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This passage isn\u2019t about atheists<\/strong> <\/em>or people far from the church \u2014 it\u2019s about ministers, miracle workers, prophets, and spiritual leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

They had outward success in ministry<\/em><\/strong> but lacked a genuine relationship with the Lord. <\/span><\/p>\n

And Jesus calls them ou<\/strong>t not for lack of activity but for their lawlessness (Greek: anomia) \u2014 working outside of God\u2019s ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

II. Word Study: \u201cI Never Knew You\u201d and \u201cIniquity\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s define two key phrases using Strong\u2019s Concordance:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI never knew you\u201d \u2013 Greek: gin\u014dsk\u014d (Strong\u2019s G1097)<\/span><\/strong>
\nTo know intimately, relationally, personally. Not just \u201cknow about\u201d someone. This is deep, experiential relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYe that work iniquity\u201d \u2013 Greek: anomia (Strong\u2019s G458)<\/span><\/strong>
\nLawlessness; rebellion; living outside of divine law and order. It implies spiritual autonomy and self-governance \u2014 doing God\u2019s work without God\u2019s heart or order.<\/span><\/p>\n

III. Modern-Day Application: The Age of Platforms and Performers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the YouTube\/social media era, it’s easy to gain a following, look anointed, and produce “fruit” (videos, followers, events). <\/span><\/p>\n

But Jesus didn\u2019t say, \u201cBy their videos ye shall know them.\u201d<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cBy their fruits ye shall know them.\u201d (Matthew 7:16)<\/span><\/p>\n

What fruit?<\/span>
\nThe fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22\u201323).<\/span>
\nThe fruit of repentance (Matthew 3:8).<\/span>
\nThe fruit of righteousness (James 3:18).<\/span>
\nThe fruit of doing the Father\u2019s will (Matthew 7:21).<\/span>
\nIV. The Public Spectacle: False Accusation, Profiteering, and Religious Fame<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we see ministers:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Calling others false publicly<\/strong> \u2014 but with no relationship, no Matthew 18:15 “submitted to Bible command to face to face, one to one, private humble” confronting)<\/em><\/strong> approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making videos to expose others<\/strong> \u2014 with zero humility, no context, no private communication.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using Scripture as a sword to wound, not heal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Profiting off reviling content that accuses, mocks, and exploits mistakes of others.<\/span><\/p>\n

POINT:<\/strong> <\/span>Most dangerously, subtly replacing Jesus as the gatekeeper to the kingdom with their personal standards.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

V. Training the Body of Christ: What Jesus Wants vs. What Religion Demands<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus wants:<\/span><\/p>\n

Relationship over r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obedience over output.<\/span><\/p>\n

Intimacy over industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heart over hype.<\/span><\/p>\n

The people He said \u201cdepart from Me\u201d to were functioning in power \u2014 but not abiding in His presence.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
