When Jesus Says, "I Never Knew You"

What if a person could be deeply religious, sincerely believe in Jesus, and still hear the words, "I never knew you"?

In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus gives one of the most sobering warnings in Scripture. The people standing before Him call Him "Lord." They claim to have done remarkable works in His name. They clearly expect to be accepted. Yet Jesus tells them to depart.

That warning raises a question every Christian should be willing to ask:

Is my confidence in salvation based on what I have always believed-or on what God actually says in His Word?

In When Jesus Says, "I Never Knew You," Daron Hoggatt invites readers to examine that question honestly and biblically. Rather than defending religious traditions or denominational positions, this book returns to Scripture to consider what Jesus and His apostles taught about salvation and discipleship.

Using the King James Version of the Bible, this book examines biblical authority, sin, grace, the gospel, faith, repentance, confession, baptism, conversion accounts in Acts, the sinner's prayer, the thief on the cross, calling upon the name of the Lord, the church, worship, doctrine, faithfulness, falling away, and the assurance of salvation.

This is not a book written to make faithful Christians live in constant fear. It is an invitation to replace assumption with biblical confidence.

Eternity is too important to rely upon tradition, emotion, family history, or what someone else has told us.

Open your Bible.

Examine what you believe.

And be willing to follow Jesus wherever His Word leads.
