What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Lk 6:46 What We Learn About Obedience From

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Not Everyone Is Going To Heaven Mt 7:21 “Kingdom of heaven” = the eternal kingdom, eternal reward cp. Mt 5:11-12 The present kingdom (church) that will eventually be delivered up to the Father 1 Cor 15:24-26

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Not Everyone Is Going To Heaven Mt 7:21 The everlasting kingdom whose entrance is “supplied” 2 Pet 1:11 In contrast to most funeral sermons, Jesus says not everyone will go to heaven Refutes the doctrine of “universal salvation”

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Not Everyone Who Says “Lord, Lord” Is Going To Heaven Mt 7:21 “Lord” = an identity bestowed upon Him by the Father cp. Acts 2:36 Yes, we should call Him “Lord” Ù a title He deserves 1 Cor 12:3 8:5-6 A truth to confess Rom 10:9 Acts 8:37

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Not Everyone Who Says “Lord, Lord” Is Going To Heaven Mt 7:21 There is only 1 Lord Eph 4:4 One cannot serve this “Lord” and something else Mt 6:24 Yet, simply verbalizing this truth is not enough Jas 2:19 cp. Lk 4:31-34, 40-41

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 “Great” Works Won’t Get One To Heaven Mt 7:22 An appeal to all who will face Christ in the judgment “Great” works by whose standard?? cp. 2 Tim 3:17

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 “Great” Works Won’t Get One To Heaven Mt 7:22 One can perform bona fide miraculous deeds and still miss heaven 1 Cor 13:1-2 The very words of those Jesus references reveal their heart Ù “we” [God is totally left out]

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Jesus Will Say “Depart From Me” To Some Mt 7:23 He will exercise His right as Judge It is His right to reject something He deems “lawlessness” or “iniquity” Lit. That which is without law Law exists, but some act as if there is no law

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Jesus Will Say “Depart From Me” To Some Mt 7:23 Our culture continues to try & “seize the throne” from Christ We quickly quote Mt 7:1ff Ù a perversion Will we even put God in the category of those who cannot judge us??

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Jesus Will Say “Depart From Me” To Some Mt 7:23 God is indeed longsuffering 2 Pet 3:7-9 The commendable attribute of being longsuffering doesn’t mean being inattentive Jesus will inescapably be our Judge cp. Acts 17:29-31 Jn 12:48

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Doing The Father’s Will Gets One To Heaven Mt 7:21 This is the concept of obedience Compliance, submission to a higher will Obedience has become an “offensive” word in our culture No one wants to be obedient, submissive

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Doing The Father’s Will Gets One To Heaven Mt 7:21 So many think they do not need to obey Athletes, politicians, corporate “big-wigs,” etc. Even families are affected by this mindset Wives told “You shouldn’t submit” Eph 5 Children taught “You don’t have to obey” Eph 6

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Doing The Father’s Will Gets One To Heaven Mt 7:21 So many think they do not need to obey Even local churches are plagued by this “We don’t really have to do what the Bible says.” “There are many things we do for which we have no Bible authority!”

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Doing The Father’s Will Gets One To Heaven Mt 7:21 So many think they do not need to obey Even local churches are plagued by this “We don’t really have to follow the elders.” “We don’t really have to deal with preaching if we deem the conclusions appealing.”

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Doing The Father’s Will Gets One To Heaven Mt 7:21 How do we reach heaven? By subjugating our will to God’s Mk 14:36 By not just obeying…but by “obeying from the heart” Rom 6: Tim 3:5

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Doing The Father’s Will Gets One To Heaven Mt 7:21 How do we reach heaven? By doing His will out of love for Him Our attitude determines whether or not we see His commands as “burdensome” 1 Jn 5:3 cp. Gen 29:15-20

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Conclusion We’re emphasizing reaching heaven…not being on the right side of a doctrinal debate We’re discussing the 1 thing that matters To miss this is to fail most miserably in life We must understand, practice this concept of obedience

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Conclusion Simply saying some “magic words” that sound good won’t get 1 soul to heaven Doing things we think are “religious” without first checking to see if the Lord approves won’t get 1 soul to heaven

What We Learn About Obedience Lk 6:46 Mt 7:21-23 Conclusion Submitting our will to the Father’s will and doing what we know He approves won’t just get 1 soul to heaven…it will get every soul to heaven Have you & I learned the concept of obedience?
