“Have you become like us?” (Isaiah 14:10)  

Here’s the Bad News: False ministers, or what Spurgeon called, apostate professors, will probably be given a hearing for all of Heaven to see. “Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven … And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” (Matthew 7:21-23). 

How will they act when Christ says, "You rejected Me, and I reject you; you played the harlot, and departed from Me: I also have banished you forever from My presence”. What will the false minister say on that last great day when, before assembled multitudes, he’s unmasked? 

The sinners who never professed religion, will lift themselves up from their beds of fire to point at the false minister. “There he is,” says one, “will he preach the gospel in hell?” “There he is,” says another, “he rebuked me for cursing, and was a hypocrite himself!”. “Aha!”, says another, “here comes that psalm-singing minister - who was always at his meetings; he’s the man who boasted of his being sure of everlasting life; and here he is!” 

Here's the Good News: You can still, “examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith” (2 Corinthians 13:5). Compare your life with the life of saints in the Bible. “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God” (1 John 3:10). Can you say this about yourself? “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God”
(1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
