Bible Question: When the Lord was talking in Matthew 7:22. Many will say to me in that day Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name, cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? If he was talking about Christian people then how can a Christian heal was sick, raise the dead get people saved, and then the Lord tell him. I never knew you depart from me you that work iniquity and send them to hell? |
Bible Answer: These verses are talking about people like the Pharises who claimed to be Christians but were actually not (Matthew 15:1-9). The Pharises claimed to believe in God (John 8:41), but when Jesus, who was God (John 10:30), came to earth, they refused to believe that he was God (John 10:33). So, the Pharises expected to go to heaven, but they were only fooling themselves because of their disbelief. So, those Pharises, who did not believe that Jesus was God, would be the one of those to whom God would say, "I never knew you." |
