You mean as a sacrifice for their sins instead of living a life of charity and forgiveness? I'm trying...
The workers of iniquity are those who try to climb up some other way to get into Heaven.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Many people try to get into heaven by various methods but the only way to get into heaven is through Jesus. Even Christians can try to get into heaven some other way, by trying to climb over the fence or through a window instead of through the door. For example, people who think they have to be obedient to the laws and rules and have to earn their Salvation through good works are actually trying to climb up some other way. They don't fully depend on Jesus for their Salvation. They also depend on their own good works and righteous acts to save them. This is the main kind of workers of iniquity that Jesus was talking about in Mathew 7. As it says:
[SUP]2[/SUP]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
They thought they had to do all these good works to earn their Salvation, but, in fact, they were actually trying to get into heaven by doing good works, which means they were climbing up some other way cause they weren't depending solely on Jesus for their Salvation.
