My Fear is this verse:
"... But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'"
Luke 13:25
This verse is from a passage titled "The Narrow Door" in Luke 13:22-30.
Many believe that they are saved. In America, numbers of people professing as Christians reach up to 80-90% yet how many of us really know Christ. Facebook profiles tell me that you're a Christian, but I do not see any fruits growing on your branches. Why this passage scares me so much is because "many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to".
This narrow path is Jesus Christ. We must realize that association with Christ will not bring us salvation, but identification with Him. Eating and drinking is not enough to maintain a solid foundational relationship with someone. We have to do more than that.
Relationships can never be one sided for it to work. This passage may infer that we need to do deeds/work in order to receive salvation, but is this not true? We need to run after God just as He sent His Son down to us.
Hearing "... But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'" sends a chill down my soul. Let us repent and trust in the Lord.
Amen.
