Matthew 7:22-23 (NIV) 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
We must never be self-righteous in goodness. How harmful is the so-called Christian who harps on about his goodness. How little does he realize that the man who is furthest from God is the man who thanks God he is not like others. —William Barclay
