Matthew 7:21–23 warns that calling Jesus “Lord” and claiming religious works cannot replace obedient faith and doing the Father’s will.
“Lord, Lord” — False Profession and True Obedience, Matthew 7:21–23
The Nature of Sin
Sin is rebellion against Jehovah’s righteous standard, inherited through Adamic imperfection and personally expressed in thought and conduct.
How Does Sin Affect a Person’s Relationship With God?
Sin separates a person from Jehovah, damages conscience, and makes reconciliation through Christ’s sacrifice urgently necessary.
What Is the Origin of Sin?
Sin began with Satan’s rebellion and entered mankind through Adam’s disobedience, bringing death; Jehovah is not its source, and Christ is its remedy.
