Matthew 7:13-27, Enter through the Narrow Gate (Part 2)

The second pitfall to the narrow gate and way is the dangers of false profession. Jesus anticipates “many” will presumptuously expect Christ to know them, when all the while they did not honor HIm or treat Him as the Lord that He is. The Lord describes the lifestyle of all such people as lawlessness. Yes, true believers are a lawful, not lawless, people. The Lord also points out the devastating expectation of those who falsely professed faith in Him: banishment from God and everything good that comes from Him. May the Lord grant to us all the wisdom to take heed to this warning of our Lord so that we would all be ready for HIm as those readily known by Him when we must face Him on judgment day.
