And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.



One Bible Commentary on Matthew 7: 23
1

They work iniquity because they teach and believe that men do not need to repent. Thus they embolden sinners to live in profliguous sin, to sin to the extreme, and delude men into thinking that Christ will save them without repentance. Yet Christ says, in Luke 5:32, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” He came to call sinners, but TO what? Not to more sin! Rather, to repentance. “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.” (Acts 8:22)
