Today, I’m going to attempt at relaying what I’ve been given in wisdom and knowledge on this very topic and hope it resonates or puts a pebble in your shoe to seek this out further, with Jesus. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believed in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” - John 3:16

Matthew 7 then describes people who come face to face with Jesus, as we all will one day, and soon, and they go as far as to not only have believed in Him, but also prophesied in his name, performed miracles, etc. – how could this be? Furthermore, How could Jesus say “I never knew you” – HE KNOWS EVERYONE, I had believed! And just as confusing to me, how come the people who not only believe in Him, but went as far as what most people, at least that I know, don’t even do – prophesy, cast out demons, perform miracles….why would THEY be the ones to be cast into outer darkness and for Jesus not to have known them, but they claim to have known HIM??

This is not an easy set of questions, nor is it my job or ability to give you full understanding – that is the work of The Holy Spirit.
