Are you in the Kingdom?

About this sermon

It’s a terrible feeling to take a test, when you think you aced it, only to find out you failed. I have experienced that a time or two. I am what they call an incurable optimist. When I turn in my test I just know that the teacher is going to be shock by the genius on the page. But more than once I have gotten the paper back to find out she didn’t feel that way at all. It’s a terrible feel to take a test and think you aced it only to find out you fail, But it’s a tragedy for people who will stand before the Judgment Bar of God, thinking Jesus will say, “Well done my good and faithful servant”, only to hear Him say, “Away from me you who work iniquity I never knew you.” The New Testament consistently teaches that there are people who think they are getting in, who are not getting in.
