I Never Knew You

What does it truly mean to know God, and more importantly, to be known by Him? This message cuts straight to the heart of one of the most sobering questions any believer can face. Drawing from Luke 13 and Matthew 7, we are confronted with the staggering reality that on the final day, many who believed they were walking with God will hear the words 'I never knew you.' The Greek concept of knowing, rooted in the Hebrew word yada, goes far beyond intellectual awareness or religious familiarity. It speaks of a deep, experiential, transforming relationship. We are challenged to ask ourselves whether our faith is a living, breathing connection with Christ or simply a set of habits, rituals, and religious performances we have grown comfortable with. The message is clear: church attendance, good deeds, and even miraculous works done in the name of Jesus are not substitutes for genuine relationship. True salvation transforms us from the inside out, and that transformation should be visible in every area of our lives, not just on Sunday mornings.
