This is an expression that Jesus will say to a group of people on the occasion of his coming. But why will he say it? Let's see.

We already have a text entitled “I don't know you”, which is a summary in questions and answers, part of the work “The Perfect Law”. In that text we proved that whoever does not know God is not known by Him either, and that He is known through obedience to His commandments. I John 2:3.

And let's clarify what Jesus will say to others when he comes.

There will be a group to whom he will say “I don't know you”. And a group to whom he will say “I never knew you”. Mt 7:23.

Now, since Jesus only knows those who know him, according to what the Holy Spirit says through Paul in Galatians 4:9, and to know him is to obey his commandments, then those whom he has never known will be those who have never kept his commandments. Matthew 7:23.

And when we speak of the commandments, we are referring to the decalogue, which is The Way, The Truth, The Life, The Righteousness, The Word of God, The Light, The Lamp and The Love of Him. Mal 2:8; Ps 119:142, last part; John 12:50, first part; Ps 119:172, last part; Ps 119:160, first part; Prov 6:23; John 15:9 and 10; 1 John 5:3.

Therefore, if you are not yet known to God, because you don't know him, make yourself known to him as soon as possible. Because time is running out, and the door of grace will close, and there will be no more possibility of conversion after that. Rev. 22:11.
