The men in the following verses had works and yet were not saved. They obviously believed in Jesus as they say they did these works in His name. Yet He told them to depart from Him. Is it possible that Jesus sent them away because they trusted in their works and not in Him? If works can save you why weren't they saved?
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
