What is the meaning of Christ’s statement in its context?
“You will know them by their fruits” [Matthew 7:15-20].
And what is Paul’s meaning in 2 Corinthians 5:17…
‘If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.’
The understanding of what it means to be a Christian must be defined by the New Testament, not by the secular culture. To profess Christ does not make a man a Christian…
“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. 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 7:21-23]
Now the question is what is the will of God and how do we know we are doing it?
