This video captures everything that made me realize that the "Christian life" I had led previously was a lie. This realization through Matthew 7 was the true beginning of my walk with Christ. I sadly realized that just because I prayed a prayer in middle school, it did not mean that I was saved from punishment for my wickedness. The verses in Matthew 7 that state "Many will say to me on that day and say "Lord, Lord" did we not do x, y, and z in your name" and then Jesus will say plainly to them "Away from me. I never knew you" (Matthew 7:22-23). Those verses gave me one of the biggest shockers of my life! I had somehow deluded myself into believing that I could be like the world and be with Christ too. Yet the truth is that one cannot serve two masters. You either hate one or serve the other (Matthew 6:24). So when the revelation hit that I was on the wide path to destruction, I repented before God to pursue the Narrow Gate - to pursue Him and His righteous. Seek first His Kingdom and his righteousness and all will be added unto you! (Matthew 6:33). Amen.

I highly recommend this sermon! It truly hits the nail on the head of the issue of indifference & the lukewarm attitude within the American Church today and how risky it is.
