Hypocrites will not make it to heaven

We as Christians believe, of course, that those who disregard God and disobey His commandments will be sentenced to hell on that great Judgment Day. God is merciful, but just. He will not overlook sin. In order to make it to heaven, our eternal reward, we need to live daily in obedience to God's commands. However, sometimes we may forget that blatant sinners will not be the only ones in hell. There will be many who say, "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?" But, doing wonderful works is not an automatic ticket to heaven. It takes more than that. It takes a daily life of obedience to God, not just a show of religion. Sadly, there will be many people, on that day, who will be disappointed. These are people who thought they were doing what was right, but they were only pretending. They didn't have a changed life. They weren't living the Christian life as the Bible commands. What a sad surprise! May we be living our lives so that there will be no sad surprises on the Great Judgment Day.
