“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” (John 14:6, 7)
Apparently, it is very important that We know Yeshua, and the Father. because of what Yeshua says in Matthew 7.
He says, 21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matthew 7:21-23)
He tells this because so many of us are laboring under the impression that all we need is to say we know Him, but do not consider God’s will toward us.
Having forgotten about the will of the Father, many of us think that all we have to do is concentrate on Jesus and His name. So we don’t honor our Covenant and its Commandments that were agreed to thousands of years before by the children of God.
In other Words the majority of us have abandoned the foundation of our faith. therefore we have become lawless in the eyes of YHVH Elohim.
Do not forget what Messiah said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
17If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
19Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?” (John 14:16-19)
Clearly Christ is not in this world to carry out His own agenda! His doctrine is the same as His Father in Heaven. Therefore, if we belong to Him, we will carry out the Will of the Father just as He does.
When He says, “I am the Way,” this is the way He is speaking of, and the truth is God’s Word!
For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law. (Proverbs 4:2)
Again Christ tells us, “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.
10If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:9, 10)
Our disobedience proves that we do not love Him, for we think we can ignore God’s will, and walk proudly into the Kingdom of God. It shall not be!
And He tell us plainly exactly that. 22Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
(Matthew 7:22)
“In that day” means He is speaking of the Day of Judgment. and this is the defense of the Lawless ones. They think that they are saved because of their using His name to do many great works. But what they have also done, is forsake the Fathers Law. (His Will)
That undoes anything they may have done in the name of Christ! We cannot have a relationship with Yeshua / Jesus Christ and forsake the Father!
Remember, He said. “I and My Father are one.” (John 10:30)
So many of my friends are hardworking Pastors, but they seem to be oblivious to this! they use the name of Jesus Christ, but they do not follow Him, or obey His Words.
Instead they preach the apostle Paul, without regard to context.
Leading God’s sheep to the slaughter!
For God’s sake, please do according to what Christ has called us for, and feed His sheep, according to the will and the Word of God!
Otherwise there can be no relationship with Christ just as He warned us.
23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matthew 7:23)
Choose now to walk in the Way, the Truth, and the life, for there is no other Way to approach the Father.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
Now, before He comes to Judge, this is the time to repent and change!
Shalom my friends,
Chuck Greever

Try to explain that the Christian motto is: Not my will but Thy will be done my Lord ” and then ask them how they are obeying what Christ calls them to do not what they want to do
