Do you know Jesus? Matt 7:21-23]] KJV* 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Jesus warned us to beware of false prophets; he goes on to give a more grievous warning of what the fate of these false speakers and those who submit to their teaching will bring. Though they say Jesus is their Lord emphatically and list their good works done in his name Jesus reply shows us that within them he is not their Lord. This word lord is not a title to be spoken for power, but a position of authority to be submitted to. h1. G2962 Original: *κύριος* Transliteration: *kurios* Phonetic: *koo-ree-os* Origin: from kuros (supremacy) Part(s) of speech: Noun Masculine * Strongs Definition*: From κῦρος kuros (_supremacy_); _supreme_ in authority, that is, (as noun) _controller_ ; by implication _Mr_. (as a respectful title): - God, Lord, master, Sir. If Paul relates this title to the marriage relationship by saying Sarah did not consider it robbery to call Abraham Lord and God himself at Sinia teaches do not take his name (marriage covenant) in vain(to gather and live in temporal earthly things); then Jesus is more bold to say depart I never knew you(marriage consummation).
