Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

Author: Evangelist Sushanth Daniel

In life, we often encounter moments where our plans don’t align with reality. I remember the anticipation and excitement after applying to a prestigious college, only to face the crushing disappointment of a failed interview. It was a humbling experience that brought to light the importance of accountability and personal responsibility.

Actions are a crucial aspect of our spiritual journey, as accentuated in Matthew 7:21 when Jesus states that not everyone who professes faith in Him will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of His Father. This passage reminds us that true commitment and obedience to God’s will should be demonstrated through our actions, rather than relying solely on empty words and intentions. It highlights the importance of aligning our behavior with our beliefs and actively living out our faith.

To truly embark on a spiritual journey, it requires more than just expressing faith through words. It calls for a sincere dedication to live in alignment with the will of a higher power. Just like the choices we make during an interview, our decisions play a vital role in shaping our spiritual path and ultimate destination.

As we sail the challenges of life and faith, remember to learn from failures and shortcomings. May the Lord grant you the wisdom to take responsibility for your actions and the humility to seek Your guidance in all that we do. May our lives reflect the truth of Matthew 7:21.

In moments of disappointment, may we find strength in knowing that, just like the opportunity to reapply after a failed interview, HIS grace allows us to seek forgiveness and redemption. May our journey be marked by a sincere commitment to God’s will, and may we, one day, hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Yet, remember this – the opportunity to reapply for entry into eternity is a limited-time offer. Today, in the fullness of life, you have the chance to submit your application by accepting Jesus as your personal Savior. On judgment day, there won’t be a second chance. Only through Jesus can you secure your place in eternity.

May this message vibrate in your heart, prompting you to reapply for the gift of salvation and embrace the eternal journey with Christ.

Prayer: Our Heavenly  Father, We seek redemption, asking for forgiveness and guidance. Help us learn from our mistakes, take responsibility, and live out our faith genuinely. Thank you for the opportunity to seek grace and forgiveness. Strengthen us on our spiritual journey, guiding our choices. We accept Jesus as our Savior and submit our application for salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Be a part of our journey!
