Will Jesus Say to Saints, 'I Never Knew You'?

In this thought-provoking study, Mary Banks tackles one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture, Matthew 7:13-23, and delivers a clarifying, Spirit-led examination of who Jesus is actually addressing when He declares, 'I never knew you.' Drawing on insight from her son, Apostle Mike, Mary carefully distinguishes between three groups: saints who persevere on the narrow way, saints who fall from grace, and unsaved false prophets who infiltrate the church wearing sheep's clothing. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to make their calling and election sure, as instructed in 2 Peter 1:10-11. Mary explains why the gate to eternal life is described as strait and narrow, and why holiness, not simply professing the name of Jesus or performing miraculous works, is the true mark of genuine salvation. The study also addresses the end-times falling away, the nature of false prophets, and the sobering reality of the second resurrection and final judgment. This concise but weighty teaching is ideal for believers who want to move beyond surface-level Christianity and examine their walk with God with honesty and reverence. It is especially valuable for small group discussion, personal devotion, or Sunday school settings where questions of eternal security, discernment, and holy living are being explored. Mary's pastoral warmth and scriptural precision make this a compelling and accessible resource for Christians at any stage of their faith journey who desire to finish well.
