Examine Yourself

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'" Matthew 7:21-23
This has got to be one of the most frightening portions of Scripture. Notice how these are people who profess to be Christians yet their fruits reveal otherwise. These people thought they were children of God even while doing the deeds of their father... the devil. How is your Christian walk? Remember, you can fool your family, your friends, and even yourelf; but you can't fool God. The Bible tells us to examine ourselves to see if we are truly in the faith. (2 Corinthians 13:5) Better now, while there is still time, than in that dreadful day. So what are you waiting for? Examine Yourself.

This is so true. I believe that the modern church overlooks this scripture. I posted this on my blog and placed a link to your blog as well.
