Not Every Person Who Claims to Follow is Accepted
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Jesus (a.s.) said, as recorded in the Gospel according to Matthew:
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “The Kingdom of Heaven will not give entrance to every man who calls me, ‘Master, Master’; only to the man that does the Will of my Father Who is in Heaven. 22 There are many who will say to me, when that day comes, ‘Master, Master, was it not in thy name we prophesied? Was it not in thy name that we performed many miracles?’ 23 Whereupon I will tell them openly, ‘You were never friends of mine; depart from me, you that traffic in wrong-doing.’”
21 Οὐ πᾶς ὁ λέγων μοι, κύριε, εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἀλλ' ὁ ποιῶν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς. 22 πολλοὶ ἐροῦσίν μοι ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, κύριε, οὐ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι ἐπροφητεύσαμεν, καὶ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι δαιμόνια ἐξεβάλομεν, καὶ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι δυνάμεις πολλὰς ἐποιήσαμεν; 23 καὶ τότε ὁμολογήσω αὐτοῖς ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἔγνων ὑμᾶς: ἀποχωρεῖτε ἀπ' ἐμοῦ οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν.
21 Non omnis qui dicit mihi, Domine, Domine, intrabit in
regnum cælorum: sed qui facit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in cælis est, ipse
intrabit in regnum cælorum. 22
Multi dicent mihi in illa die: Domine, Domine, nonne in nomine tuo
prophetavimus, et in nomine tuo dæmonia ejecimus, et in nomine tuo virtutes
multas fecimus? 23 Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a
me, qui operamini iniquitatem.
