Not Everyone Goes to Heaven

In this passage, Pastor Kevin teaches on one of the scariest passages in scripture. In Matt 7, Jesus says

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 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 in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Pastor Kevin explains this warning from Jesus, and then gives examples from scripture of people who were not true followers of Jesus. Some outright rejected Jesus, some professed to know him but did not truly follow him, and others tried to gain favor with God through their good works. But only those with true, genuine faith which results in a personal relationship and obedience to Christ will enter the kingdom of heaven.
