Considering the Final Verdict
Matthew 7:21-23
[21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] On that day many will say to me,‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ [23] And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
DEEP SHEET: Sermon Study Questions

2. What does it mean to put our trust in Jesus as Lord? What is the difference between empty words and active obedience? (Romans 10:9; Luke 6:46; Matthew 12:50)
3. Why is the use of the word “many” (v. 22) in this context so surprising and startling?
4. How is it possible for false converts to do the great acts mentioned in v. 22? How can religious experiences and activities give us false assurance? (Matthew 24:24)
5. How does this passage help us to understand what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus? (Romans 4:7; Titus 2:14; 1 John 3:6-10)
