35. In Matt 7:21 Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” In verse 23 He’ll then says, “I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

36. Matthew 25:31-46 (continued) 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment...
