You Workers of Lawlessness
Matthew 7:23

Matthew 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
In this verse, Jesus Christ is warning about false professions of faith. These are people who claim to know God but are living in ongoing rebellion against Him.
Scripture teaches that it is impossible to live in continual rebellion against God and truly know Christ.
When a person puts their faith in Christ, they are called to turn from lawlessness, receive the forgiveness He offers, and begin living in obedience to God’s commands.
True faith in Christ does not produce a life of lawlessness but a life that is increasingly transformed by His grace. ~ Jeff M Newman
