Luke 13:24-30
"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' "But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.' "Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' "But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!' "There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last."
You won't know you are an evildoer until you search your inner self. Many do not search their inner selves to see, if they still keep obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in them. Many choose to live very careless lives when it comes to things hidden in them. They choose to just continue living in them carelessly. When the real time comes for the "owner of the house" to close the door to that house and you are shut out from it, you will come pleading! Take special note; it's the "owner" of the house who decides who is "in" and who is "out" of that house. He had kept it opened for a long time now. Do you also realize that it is not enough to just attend and mingle around, have fun together and just "hear" the teachings? There is much more to than just be there where these things are taking place. They fought back with all their rights saying; 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.'. What they meant was they were there, taking part in all that they did together, so why did the "owner of the house" still not know or recognize them. You were there right where all these things were done and enjoyed the food,fellowship and the teachings, but you continued being an evildoer. An evildoer is one who continually keeps obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in him or her. He matures doing evil with obeying that evil nature.You liked to be present where these things took place but at the same time, not give up your evil ways. You kept being an evil doer! That's why the "owner of the house" said, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!'
It's very important that you put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in you now, before it's too late. The warning is repeatedly being sounded here. Do you heed His call? If you do, good! If you don't, then be ready for what's coming for you, no matter who you are on this Earth. It won't make any difference to the "owner of the house" who you are here. If you can hear it, act now before it's too late. Don't take His words too lightly. Abraham. Issac and Jacob and all the rest who were in that house already didn't take God's word lightly, so why must you? You must take God's word to you seriously and obey it. You must obey everything Christ had commanded. Don't give excuses for not obeying Him. Don't give excuses that you were not given strict warning about disobeying everything Christ had commanded. The warnings have been repeated here too many times, but it fell on deaf ears each time. Maybe, you didn't want to obey Christ and everything He had commanded. That is your own stubbornness and rebelliousness towards the "owner of the house" Probably you thought that you couldn't see the "owner of the house" so you could do things as you wished. No, what's the point of those teachings, if you don't make every effort to obey it? "Walking through that narrow door" is obeying Christ and everything He had commanded. Obeying Christ our Lord instead of obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in you is the hardest thing to do on Earth. The struggle and the battle is always there but we have been assigned a very close helper. He dwells in you. Do you obey His leading? He will lead you towards full Christformation in you, Why won't you rather obey Him, instead of choosing to obey the sinful nature of the Devil in you? If you obey the leading of God the Holy Spirit in you, the divine nature of Christ will be formed in you. When the divine nature of Christ is formed in you, then the "owner of the house" will recognize you. Until then, He would not know who you are or recognize you, if you still have the sinful nature of the Devil in you. Didn't Christ our Lord tell you to overcome it by listening to Him and everything He had commanded?
Proverbs 8:34
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
