Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
7:22 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? [kjv]
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [kjv]
The verses for the "
houses" built on "
rock" and on "
sand" follow which end the Sermon on the Mount.
How valuable is a "prophet's" "reward"?
How valuable is a "righteous" or "ministering" reward? Think "goats" in the parable of the "sheep" and "goats".
If one is not of God, can one actually "
cast out" "
devils" since that would "
divide" the "
house" (built on sand)? The Greek word for "
profess" is that of "
agree" as in "
same reasoning" and often translated as "
confess".
