馬太福音七章21-23節
神的小僕人
 
經文:
21 凡稱呼我主阿,主阿的人,不能都進天國,惟獨遵行我天父旨意的人,纔能進去。
22 當那日必有許多人對我說:主啊,主啊,我們不是奉你的名傳道,奉你的名趕鬼,奉你的名行許多異能嗎?
23 我就明明的告訴他們說:我從來不認識你們,你們這些作惡的人,離開我去吧。
 
為何主耶穌警告我們,不是凡稱呼「主啊、主啊」的祂都會接納?看來真的令許多信徒感到困擾。其實主在這裡提醒我們,不要做一個虛假的信徒,不要只有在口頭上稱呼主,而要有真實跟從主的動機,在實際行動中真正的跟從耶穌。
 
對信徒而言,我們以為自己得着救恩就足夠了,但耶穌提醒我們,必須要結果子,我們不是靠結果子而得救,但真正得救的人應該會結出果子。
 
Matthew 7:21-23
 
Jesus gave us serious warning.  He told us that not all of us calling upon Him as “Lord, Lord” can enter the kingdom.  Many believers get confused.  Aren’t we His children and are entitled to enter the kingdom through believing? Jesus is telling us that we need to truly believe that brings forth changes and transformation.  Superficial faith and lip service are not true faith.
 
So what does that mean?  We need to live a life with good fruits that come out of our faith.  It is not that we are saved by work but it is the fruits we produce that prove our true faith in Him. 
 
How do we live as believers?  Are we producing fruits that proves our transformed lives and witness God?  They are the good fruits we produce.
