"I Never Knew You" — The Most Terrifying Words in the Bible | Spurgeon Sermon

Matthew 7, Matthew 7:21-23, Spurgeon sermons, Charles Spurgeon, I never knew you, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven..." — Matthew 7:21 Few passages in Scripture are more sobering than the words of Jesus in Matthew 7. On the Day of Judgment, many who considered themselves religious, faithful, and secure will stand before Christ expecting acceptance—only to hear the devastating words, "I never knew you; depart from Me." In this powerful Spurgeon-style sermon, we explore Christ's warning against false assurance, empty religion, and outward Christianity without genuine saving faith. The message challenges every listener to examine their heart and ask whether their confidence rests in religious works, church attendance, and good deeds—or in Jesus Christ alone. This sermon is not meant to produce fear without hope. Rather, it points to the grace of God, the necessity of true repentance, and the joy of a genuine relationship with Christ. 📖 Featured Scriptures: Matthew 7:21–23 Luke 13:24–28 John 10:27–28 Ephesians 2:8–9 2 Corinthians 13:5 James 2:17 Romans 10:9–10 Whether you are a lifelong churchgoer or a new believer, this message calls you to rest in Christ alone and to pursue a faith that is real, living, and transforming. 🙏 If this sermon strengthens your faith, please Like, Subscribe, and Share to help spread the Gospel around the world. ⚠️ Disclaimer Disclaimer: This sermon is inspired by the biblical preaching style and theological themes associated with Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
