The deciding factor -- Obedience
Matthew 7:21-23

“Cheap Grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without Church discipline, communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap Grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.”
“The cost of Discipleship” Deitrich Bonhoffer
The message here is designed to open our eyes again to the great danger of s_________________ and s______________________.
Our Lord is emphasizing once more that nothing a____________ in the presents of God but true righteousness, true holiness..... the ‘holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (H_____________ 12:14)
The general principle behind this teaching is that self-deception, with regard to the soul and its relationship to God, is generally due to our relying upon f______ __________ of Salvation.
To be a Christian means that we rest our entire case.... our whole S_______________, our eternal destiny entirely upon the ___________________. That is why the true believer says, “Lord, Lord”.
But the alarming aspect of all of this is that the Lord makes it clear that n______ everyone who says this will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!”
J__________ 2:19
We are all in danger of becoming content with an i______________________ to the truth!!!
There is the danger of trusting your f________ instead of Christ, or trusting your b____________ without really becoming regenerate.
.
“Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?” vs. 22
“For by Grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God --- NOT of works lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8&9.....
The question we need to answer this morning is not “is Jesus God”?
But” is He Your God”?
Not “is Jesus Lord”?...
But “is Jesus Lord of Your life”?
Not” is Jesus the Savior”,
but “Is He YOUR Savior”.
