Mat 7:23 | MHM | STEP | v. 23 : Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Jesus says that He will reject those who only pretended to serve Him. Even if they did impressive things, He will say, “I never knew you.” What matters most is truly knowing Jesus and obeying Him, not just doing things in His name (Matthew 7:23 ). In summary, Matthew 7:21–23 teaches us that being a true follower of Jesus is about doing God’s will and having a real relationship with Him, not just saying the right words or doing impressive things. We should examine our lives and make sure our faith is genuine and our actions come from a heart that truly loves and obeys God.
