- I would like to pose two questions from this passage: "Many 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?' And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'" (Matthew 7:22-23).
It is obvious that this is not a question of our existence since God knows of everyone who was ever born. So, if our eternal salvation comes to whether God "knows" us, what must I do for God to "know" me? I believe that He has done everything He was required to do, i.e., He says on the cross, "It is finished."
Also, how is it possible for people to do the things quoted in this passage while being devoid of a personal relationship with, or not "knowing", God?
