Glad to see you all swingin the swords while I slumbered down under hahaha
Have the workers for earned or kept their salvation today.....NOPE...THEY, ALONG WITH THEIR CAINOLOGIST and PHARISEE-ICAL buddies, have still not done enough good works to warrant salvation and or to keep their salvation....nor will they ever...
MANY will come before me in that day saying, "LORD, LORD HAVE WE NOT DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS IN YOUR NAME, Have we not cast out demons in your name, have we not prophesied in your name?"
What does Jesus say folks...
a. I never knew you
b. Depart from me ye workers of iniquity
So, we can glean numerous truths..
a. They believed they were saved and knew Jesus
b. They believed that works in the name of Jesus was part of the salvation process
c. They believed their right to enter was based upon what they have done in the name of Jesus
THEY WERE WRONG and now will pay the eternal price for failing to trust into the finished work of Christ by faith for salvation!
