I Am Christian

The saddest words that will ever be spoken.

[i][b] "Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity, I never knew you[/b]
[i]

This will be spoken to every non believer in the Lord of Salvation, Jesus Christ, on the day when we all stand before him to be judged.

[b] Today is the day of salvation, do not turn him away.[/b]

Yes, that verse has always troubled me. I guess I have wondered at times if that was also intended for the believer whose motives were wrong, but I think you're right. God's wrath is not for those who have placed their trust in Him.

@SW-User yes you are right it was intended for believers, those who have a show of salvation, but their hearts are far from him. I have never known you, denotes that there was no intimacy on the part of the believer, but it could apply to not believers too I believe. The antidote for this is to draw close to the Lord, to love him, and to serve him willingly and without reserve.
