I never knew you...

 

The parable of the Ten Virgins.

All of them fell asleep.  All of them woke when they heard that Jesus was coming.  All of them had lamps.  All of them tried to get into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Five were ready, five were not. 

Jesus knew five, Jesus did not know five.

What did He say to the ones who weren't ready?

He didn't know them.

Look at this verse:

1 Corinthians 8:3 

But if any man loves God, the same is known by him.

How can we know that Jesus knows us?  If we love Him, he knows us.

How can we know if we love Jesus?

What are the commandments we are to keep?

2 John 1:5-6

And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

How you love your neighbor determines whether or not Jesus knows you.
