I do wonder about the last point starting about 53:30 Jesus talks about those who did wondrous things in his name, and yet he tells them "depart from me, I never knew you", as only those who do the will of the father truly love him. It sometimes seems hard to NOT think of God's will as the 'tightrope' in this sense. I'd be interested to know what others think.
Hey Nolan, at 5:30 Erwin starts the origin story of Mosaic. Are you talking about how most christians don't the will of God and don't help others come to know Jesus, or how Erwin was doing the will of God, or ? I resonate with your general question from Mathew 7:23 too, it can sound like it's just us doing the will of God that matters. But how Jesus answers with "I never knew you" gives us a clue of how important relationship is. How are we going to know God's will without knowing him? We must focus on connecting with him. The message that ends on Mat 7:23 mentions the wonderous works they do, which could be "showy" fame producing in those times, prophesy, casting out demons, and mighty works. Compare it to "the Sheep and the Goats" , Mat 25:31-46 the Goats are like the people in Mat 7:23 and the Sheep who recieve their inheritance in the Kingdom are the ones who help the poor, meet needs (very relational). Mat 25:40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Ah you meant 53:00 next steps/proactivity vs waiting on God. My perspective I shared above still makes sense, aligns with Erwins answer, don't be afraid to do good. I've heard it said God can't direct you if you are not moving.
So regarding chapter 7 from Matthew's Gospel, I would say, read Acts chapter 19 beginning in verse 13. Do these two passages fit together in your mind in some way? What do you think? If you see something in the world that isn't as it should be, like brokenness or an injustice (think about slavery in the US in the 18th or 19th Century), and it moves & stirs something deep within your soul, maybe even emotionally that you can't fully explain, like 'Why should I care? Why should I be filled with empathy for people I don't even know?', you have to believe it's something that God has put inside you, and then ask Him what you're supposed to do with it. Just before the verses in chapter 7 of Matthew, it talks about asking, seeking and knocking, but I think the key is the relationship with Jesus. It wasn't an idea invented by American christians in the 17th Century. It is throughout Scripture, starting in Genesis 3 when it's revealed that God was routinely walking with Adam & Eve in the garden. And now I've gone and done it, I've full on preached something, which I desperately need to apply in my own life. So I thank you Nolan for that. Be encouraged keep pressing into know the LORD and His love for you! God bless you brother!
