What did Jesus mean when He said, 'I never knew you'?

Answered in 1 source

'I never knew you' refers to God's acknowledgment of those who are not His, emphasizing the importance of true relationship over mere profession.

When Jesus says, 'I never knew you' (Matthew 7:23), it signifies a lack of intimate relationship and acknowledgment by God. In the context of judgment, this statement highlights the distinction between those who are genuinely known by God and those who only profess faith without true regeneration. The sermon's focus on the Lamb of God and His role as the mediator elucidates that only those written in the book of life will be recognized by the Father. Thus, the certainty of being known by God rests on His sovereign grace and the authentic work of salvation within the believer.
