I have a little test for you – your salvation will depend on getting it right (first  pt question).

This paper will explore if you have been fooled or deceived with a basic question. 

REMINDER: Only a FEW are chosen for the Kingdom, while the MANY will be cast into the lake of fire (hell).

In Matthew 7:22, it is written that MANY will say, “Lord, Lord,” and will claim to have cast out demons, prophesied, and performed many wonderful works in His name. But they will be rejected (depart from me). It is written.

Matthew  7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: DEPART from me, ye that work iniquity.

The Few – Accepted (good)

The Many – Rejected (bad)

Do you want to find out with one question if you are part of the few?

Matthew  22:14  For many are called, but few are chosen.

Again, just one question.

Q.
Why are the Many that say “Lord Lord” (Mat 7:22) rejected and told to DEPART by the King?

A.
1. They are not serious followers.

2. They are about themselves.

3. They never knew God.

4. Iniquity.

The answer is 4.
Matthew  7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: DEPART from me, ye that work INIQUITY.

What is Iniquity?

Most people would say iniquity is sin. But, everyone sins. Only one man walked this Earth with no sin. So what really is iniquity? 

Iniquity is the sin that you hold on to. You have never repented for it but rather you enjoy doing it. You prefer to sin and go against God’s word. Yes, iniquity is sin, but it is the sin you continue to do in defiance of God’s word. It can also be called the willing sin or the sin that you are willing to do with no regret. Note: it does not apply to people who sin in ignorance – Understanding Grace.  

FIRST, you must know what sin is in God’s word. It is written (God has defined it for you).

1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the LAW.
