Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
In that way we know God is not served by human hands as a will. He can use a unbeliever to cause growth when men hear the gospel just as easily when a believer declares the word of God . He said I never knew you as a worker of iniquity in so much he did perform those good works. . but did perform them and attributed the work to his own hand..(blasphemy)
Hebrews 6 informs us of the better things that accompany salvation in so much that God will not forget the love we have shown towards his name, authority .
The many in Mathew 7 were wearing it as a badge of self edification as if we did glory in the flesh and the kingdom did come by observation (walking by sight)
