Lordship Matthew 7:21 · Life For Toledo

  Today is the day, the day that we look at Matthew
• 0:03
  7, 21. It's where Jesus says, Not everyone who
• 0:06
  says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom
• 0:09
  of heaven. This is the verse that reminds us
• 0:11
  that while everything we say, men will answer
• 0:14
  for every idle word, while everything we say
• 0:17
  is important, what we say is not the end -all,
• 0:21
  be -all, and it's not everything. So people call
• 0:23
  themselves Christian. They say, Lord Jesus. They
• 0:26
  even pray, even do things. In the same passage
• 0:29
  of scripture, Jesus will say, you healed in my
• 0:32
  name, you cast out demons in my name, but get
• 0:34
  away from me, I never knew you. Not just those
• 0:37
  who say, Lord, Lord, it's those who live accordingly.
• 0:40
  It's those who put God first. And so let me encourage
• 0:43
  you to put God first, to learn his commands,
• 0:47
  to grow in what God is teaching us to do, to
• 0:50
  reach new heights in Jesus. And then as you're
• 0:53
  living for the Lord, the confirmation of what
• 0:55
  you have said, that declaration. with your mouth
• 0:58
  that Jesus is Lord. It becomes true. To say that
• 1:01
  he is Lord and to not do what he says is a contradiction.
• 1:04
  And so Jesus would say, not everyone who says
• 1:07
  unto me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of
• 1:09
  heaven.
