The Only Way to Heaven (Matthew 7:13–27) - John MacArthur

"As we continue in our series—and I don’t know how long this will go; we’ll have to see—I told you a few weeks ago that I wanted to just go through the four gospels in a somewhat random fashion, selecting very important words and conversations from the lips of Jesus, and that’s what we’re doing—the very words that He said, and how critical and significant they are. And we come to a third one of those this morning, and it’s a rather extended passage. But turn in your Bible to Matthew 7, Matthew 7. It’s a very familiar passage; and I want to read verses 13 through 27.

Matthew 7:13-27, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’.." from the Transcript
