Wonderful Works... That Work Iniquity (Matthew 7:22-23)

2025-07-20

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 7:23)

These people who shall stand before the Lord thought they were doing many wonderful works in the name of Jesus. They really thought the Lord was using them throughout their life, only to get a rude awakening. They were deceived. They were acting in the flesh without any faith. They were unsaved. There was not a single moment in the life where they gave any honor to Him, for He said, “I never knew you.”

So we always reevaluate where we are with the Lord. Occasionally, we need to take inventory to ensure we are on His path, the right path. Please open our eyes to show us the truth about ourselves.
