THE NARROW GATES. Matthew 7: 13-14. Amplified Version.
“Enter through the narrow gate.
For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to everlasting life, and there are few who find it.
I NEVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME - Matthew 7:21-23. Amplified Version.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to Me on that day when I judge them, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’
And then I will declare to them publicly,
‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you are banished from My presence, you who act wickedly disregarding My commands.’
The title to this two part video series is a question for those who choose to not obey the commands of Jesus.
Who are these people?
These are the people that Jesus will say to them, "Depart from me as I never knew you!"
But really!, "Who are these people?"
These people did not care to obey the sayings (teachings) of Jesus, much less have a relationship with Him.
That's why He said to them, "I never knew you!"
Where else in the Scriptures has Jesus said this?
First, there is the Parable of the Ten Virgins, also known as the Parable of the Five Wise and Foolish Virgins.
Matthew 25:1-13.
Five were wise and five were foolish.
The foolish virgins were left outside the gate because the Bridegroom said to them, "I do not know you. In other words He said, "You do not have a relationship with Me."
The next is the Parable of the Talents.
The Master said to two of the three servants that obeyed His Commands,
"His lord said to them, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant;
you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.
Enter into the joy of your lord.’
So, what did He say to the third servant?
Read for yourselves Matthew 25:26 through 30
“But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant"
"cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
And third reed for yourselves - Matthew 25:31-46.
Titled - The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations.
When we stand before Jesus, the most important words we can hear Jesus say to us are,
"Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord."
For Jesus to say that to us will be because we have listened to His teachings, have obeyed His teachings, and have a right relationship with Him.
That is those who are trusting Jesus and His righteousness and not our own.
We can never do good enough good works to earn salvation.
We can only be saved through Jesus' good works.
He suffered and died for our sins so that we wouldn't have to, but we must follow Him, obey His commands and have a continual righteous relationship with Him.
That's It in a nutshell! If you do not have a relationship with Jesus right now, then don't put it off any longer.
Believe, trust and have faith in, Jesus and you will be saved.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:31
If you don't know Jesus and would like to get to know Him in a real and personal way, and you don't feel like you know how, I am here to help you.

Please share this video with your friends and family as Jesus is coming any day now.
When Jesus Raptures the true Church, the followers of Jesus, out of this world, all hell will break loose on earth.
Rapture means to catch up to meet Jesus in the air. The dead in Christ will rise first and those that are still alive on the earth will then be caught up to meet Jesus in the air too.
When Jesus returns in the air to Rapture His true Church He will be bringing His reward with Him. He will reward those that are faithful and true.
Jesus does not desire that any be lift behind to suffer the wrath of God known as the 7-year tribulation.
Jesus is calling you now. Can you see Him now? He's holding out His hand to you. Take His hand now. Hear Him saying to you, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
All heaven is rejoicing over you because there is a new name written in heaven.
