These are some of the most terrifying words in the Bible:
Not 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.
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?
And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23
Some followers of Christ might think they know Him. They might know Him to an extent.
Jesus the Christ has to know you.
There is no other way. He is the way, the truth and the life.
There is no way to earn your merits and get a passage into Heaven.
Jesus is the prize. He is the ultimate. Not His miracles, not His signs and wonders, not the dreams, not the healings. not the visions, not the prophetic words. Jesus is the treasure.
Those who treasure Jesus’ miracles more than Him do not know Him, and, He does not know them.
They have missed the mark, missed the point.
I’ve seen Revivalists or Evangelists who toot their own horn. Taking God’s glory is not pleasing to God.
He is the One who answers prayers and the one who heals, the one who predicts the future, the one who performs all sorts of miracles. Just using the name of Jesus is not going to cut it.
We must honor Him and lift Him us for all to see.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11
