💭 Consider this: The true believer is a doer of His will—How intentional are you in aligning your decisions, habits, and desires with Scripture?

📣 Can you serve God... and still be lost? 🤔

Is it possible to preach, give, and minister in Jesus’ name—yet hear Him say, “I never knew you”? In this sobering message from Matthew 7:21–23, we confront one of the most urgent questions a professing Christian can ask: Am I truly saved, or self-deceived?

Discover what false assurance looks like, why true faith always bears fruit, and how 1 John helps us test the reality of our salvation. This is not just a message to hear—it’s one to examine your soul by.

In other words, you can be 100% right in what you say about Christ. You can be 100% accurate about the nature of Christ, His person, His atoning work on the cross, His resurrection, and His return. You may even be a defender of His Word and yet not be saved. Why? Because you do not believe in your heart.

Salvation is a supernatural work. It is the wonder-working of the Holy Spirit. It is a deep-seated conviction based on the truth of the Bible. It is to believe in your heart — in the inner man — that Jesus Christ is truly your Lord and your Saviour.

There's nothing more tragic than this — for someone who thinks he is a child of God when he is on this earth, but when he stands before Christ on the day of judgment and he hears the Lord say to him, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:23)

if there is no true faith in the heart, you will not be saved.

Who then is truly saved? Who then is a true disciple of Christ?
