godly. They may refer to me as Lord, but they still wont enter the

Father in heaven. 22 On judgment day many will tell me, Lord, Lord,
we prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and
performed many miracles in your name. 23 But I will reply, I never
knew you. Go away; the things you did were unauthorized.

in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of
God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. iteenchallenge.org
