HE KNOWS

By Rick Mathes

Matthew 7:21-23 (NASB77) ²¹ ” Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.  ²² ” Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ ²³ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

They are called “practical atheists.” Some may flatter these unbelievers and label them “carnal Christians” or even “humanists.” I call them “Satanists.” Gasp! Consider that the proof of unbelief is when one pay no attention to the Word of god and live as though they were god. The major sin that is at the top of Satan’s wish-list is unbelief and it is the only sin God cannot forgive. So if you blatantly sin in Corem Deo (in God’s face) without conviction and repentance, you are an unbeliever and thus a Satanist.

He knows us:

• In our repentance
• In our gratitude
• In our adversity
• In our reproach
• In our difficulty
• And in our Love.

“Depart from me” are the scariest words I’m blessed I will never hear. How about you?

I remember thinking, “I’ll get religion when I get old but for now I’m going to party, party, party.” I didn’t realize tht the departure beings here on earth and extends eternally in hell.

He will depart from your friendship and then you will be horrified to realize what a friend He was or could of be but you invite Him out of your life. It’s a lonely world when you are out of fellowship with Him. Nothing can compare to His love and protection. But you lose it all when you turn your back to the cross he died to save your soul.

If you think this life is hell, you will be shocked when those flames start crawling up your legs from an abyss of liquid, bottomless flames and brimstone. You will have lost the paradise He created on this beautiful blue pearl hanging out here as the welcome mat of the universe.

You will have lost the blessing of His presence here and in the heaven you refused. You have only gained a satisfied Satan who you choe over Christ. You are not a Christian, you are a Satanist and He knows!
