Matthew 7:22-24

New Testament for Everyone

²² On that day lots of people will say to me, ‘Master, Master—we prophesied in your name, didn’t we? We cast out demons in your name! We performed lots of powerful deeds in your name!’

²³ “Then I will have to say to them, ‘I never knew you! You’re a bunch of evildoers—go away from me!’ ”

True obedience

²⁴ “So, then, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
