He who does the will of My Father

Many have done wonderful works and will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Many have cast out demons and prophesied in the name of Jesus but will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Many call Him Lord but will never experience one glorious day in the presence of the almighty. In Matthew 7:21 Jesus tells us that he who does the will of His Father in heaven is the one that will enter in!

As we see Jesus, we see the Father. As we hear from Jesus, we hear from the Father. Matthew 11:27. Jesus helps us to understand what the will of the Father is. In Matthew 5:21, Thou shalt not kill is unfolded to mean that hating someone is the same as killing the person. Matthew 5:27 Thou shalt not commit adultery is revealed to mean that if one even looks with lust, adultery has been committed in the heart. Matthew 12, 1-8 Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. In the New Testament, Jesus becomes our rest, our Sabbath. The Sabbath is no longer limited to one day a week. Every day is the Sabbath Day. We rest in Him continually.

“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!’
