/“The Warning about False Pretenses”/
1 John 2:4 cf.
Matthew 7:21-23
!
Introduction: give the context – (vv.13-14 wide & narrow gate; vv.15-20 false prophets; vv.21-28 the two builders)
!!
Not everyone who claims to be a Christian really is.
Unbelievers do make false professions of faith in Christ.
People who are not truly Christians can be deceived into thinking they are (1 John 2:3-6)
1.
Hebrews 12:14 –“Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.”
If there is no holiness in your life, you have no hope of seeing God, except to stand before Him in judgment.
2. There are those who think they are saved but at the same time living a life of unholiness.
The /Holy/ Spirit.
3. They will be shocked to discover that in the final judgment, heaven is not their final destiny (Matt.
7:21-27)
!
Not Everyone who says, /but /“He who Does” – 7:21
!! A Person /Must Profess/ that Jesus Christ is Lord (Romans 10:9-10)
Not all those who call Him Lord will enter His Kingdom either (Matthew 7:21; Luke 6:46)
1.
If you are calling Him Lord but living in rebellion & disobeying God you are on shaky ground!
Saying the Right Thing is not Enough
a. 1 John 1:6 /those who say they have fellowship with God yet walk in darkness/
b. 1 John 2:4 /those who say they know Him but do not keep His commandments/
c. 1 John 4:20 /those who say they love God yet hate their brother/
d. Matthew 7:21 cf.
John 3:36 /those who say ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not obey/
2.
Many people think they know Him because they:
a.
believe the right things about Him, pray, witness, teach
b. dress appropriately, do rituals, faithful church attendance, dad is a Pastor
c.
Even confessing Jesus as Lord
!!
A Person Must do more than Profess Jesus as Lord
1B-We need to have a “born again” relationship with Jesus – “God imparts to us a new life /from above/ (2 Cor.
5:17)”
1.
John 3:1-7 cf.
Ezek.
36:25-27… Titus 3:5
a.
/It is instantaneous – /just as a child is born from his mothers womb
b. /It is not the result of human effort – /it’s not what you do but what God does to you.
c. /It is not based on human effort /John 1:12-13 – it is an act of God.
/ /
2. The Result of Regeneration is:
/ /
A new nature /divine nature /(2 Peter 1:4); /new self/ (Eph.
4:24); a capacity for righteous living
A new Life /A new mind that you might now God /(1 Cor.
2:16)
/ A new hear that you may love God/ (Romans 5:5; 1 John 4:9)
/ A new will that you may obey God/ (Romans 6:13)
2B-We Must Love God Supremely (Luke 14:25-33… Matthew 10:37-39… 1 Corinthian 16:22)
3B-If we call Jesus Lord then we are saying He is the Master of our lives
If He is the Master of our lives are we following in His footsteps, after His example?
1.
John 13:13-17 cf. 1 Jn.2:6
2. Peter Tells the Lord No! (Acts 10:9-22)
4B There will come a Day when Every Knee Will Bow & Confess Jesus as Lord (Philippians 2:5-11)
1.
People may not want to confess or ever yield to His Lordship in their lifetime, but will one day.
2. Because they confess His name as Lord of all, that doesn't mean they will enter His kingdom (Matt.
7:21).
3. OBEDIENCE, CHARACTER, LIFESTYLE, CONDUCT is the deciding factor.
So we have seen that a person must /Profess Jesus as Lord/ Romans 10:9-10 /Do more that profess Jesus as Lord/ must be born again, love God supremely
!!
A Person Must Do God’s Will
/Two Types of False Believers/
Those that “say without doing” - /Empty words/ (v.21-23) /be doers of the Word not hears only!/
Those that “hear without obeying” (v.24-27)
/There are Several Categories of deceived people/
· Hypocrites – they try to appear religious.
· Those who call themselves Christians – they’ve gone to Sunday school since childhood or “made a decision” for Christ but have no ongoing interest in living out the implications of faith.
· Those who are involved in ministry – they know the facts about the Gospel but are not obedient to the Word of God.

/Classic Example of Obedience from our Lord/
Parable of the two sons (Matthew 21:28-32)
1.
The first son said, “I will not,” but later “repented” & went
2. The second son said, “I go sir,’ but did not obey
3. God command all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:29-30)
4. Jesus Himself said, “unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3, 5)
5. John 3:19-20 Many want Jesus but do not want any alteration of their lifestyle.
The Attitude of the Repentant Woman – She came with a broken and contrite heart!
(Luke 7:36-50)
1.
She sensed a desperate need to be forgiven
2.
She approached the Lord despite her sin /Jesus says come unto me all who are weary /(Matthew 11:28-30).
3.
She surrendered to the Lord in utter humility (v.38)
4.
She loved much, giving her most prized possession (v.38).
5.
This woman loved in deed and in truth (Matthew 25:31-46)
6.
She had a godly sorrow which produces repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
/What is the Primary “Will of God”?/
The person who does God’s will is the person who /truly believes, obeys, and loves God’s Son./
· And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
(1 John 3:23 NKJV)
· “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on Him.” John 3:36
· "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.
And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."
(John 14:21 NKJV)
· "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
(John 15:10 NKJV)
· "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
(John 15:14 NKJV)
· If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed.
(1 Corinthians 16:22)
/The Lesson here is this//: /
If a person lives a life of disobedience, it does not matter what he or she says or what good things that person has done.
He or she is an unbeliever in danger of eternal damnation.
!
What “many will say… in that day”– 7:22
!! The Plea to the Lord Himself: “Lord, Lord”
The “many” that are turned away are religious people—They are the same many as Matthew 7:13
The problem is in v.15-20— false prophets dressed in sheep’s clothing.
1.
They believe they should enter heaven for their deeds, this is holding to a form of godliness (2 Tim.
3:5).
2. They are trying to earn God’s favor through external works rather than living out the righteousness that is bases on faith (Romans 10:5-10).
3. They do the right things but do not do them from the heart (Ephesians 6:6).
