Bible Question: Thank you john for your response I totally agree that our focus should be getting more people to Christ and not on demons and the trickery of satan.I do have another question what group of people was Jesus talking about in Matthew 7:22 was it people who were once following Christ but backslid? |
Bible Answer: Good evening jchelve I'm sure john will see your question and answer you, but I'll give you my opinion. Messiah was speaking to those who had been just playing a game (and there are many of those around today!!). They crave the notoriety, the money, the esteem, etc that comes from performing miracles and healings. They actually manage to convince themselves, as well as many others, that they are truly born-again believers, but they have never really surrendered their lives to the Lordship of Messiah. How do you think that they practice lawlessness? Later in ch. 24 vs. 34-46 will give you better enlightenment on what it means to practice Torah, to live as a redeemed child of God, or to practice "lawlessness." Shalom Cheri P.S.
