Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, LORD, LORD, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I KNOW YOU NOT. Matthew 25:11-12. Many will say to Me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:22-23. We have 2 choices here and only one is true and the other false. Either God is mean and cruel because He's rejecting people who really love Him, or He is very Loving and people don't want to play by His Rules. My vote goes for He is Loving. If that is True, than there are a lot of people who are following the rules OF A GOD OF THEIR OWN MAKING, and when they meet the REAL God, they surprisingly, suddenly, find out they've been following the wrong god. They just wouldn't listen when preachers, friends, even God Himself couldn't get through. There is no lack on the Lord's part for trying to get people to listen to Him. Man is generally Determined to do things his way and not the Lord's Way because man would have to acknowledge there is a better way. Pride won't let man do that. Man won't follow God unless it's a god of man's making, making rules man wants to follow, to a heaven also made up by man. Since man has a God shaped hole in his heart, man tries to fill that hole with his own made up god, AND IT ISN'T WORKING. It never has and it never will. Only Christ will fully, completely, and totally fulfill ALL that man truly longs for. Do you cry "Lord Lord", and barely read your Bible, don't obey what you do understand of the Lord, and have minimal love for others? Hear that sound? Is that the Holy Spirit beating on your door? Answer it, Welcome Him, Believe and Follow His Word, and Be Blessed.
