Main point summary
The will of the Father is not mighty deeds, prophecies,or works done in his name, but His will is that we know Him and love Him. He wants a relationship with each of us that goes beyond dutiful works straight to a delight in Him. Only those who know Yahweh like a friend and a Father will be welcomed on the Last Day into life.

s On that day t many will say to me,
On that day of judgement many will ask,
‘Lord, Lord, did we not u prophesy in your name,
Yahweh, why can’t we enter? We spoke prophecies in your name that came true,
and cast out demons v in your name,
We cast out demons from people, setting them free from bondage,
and do many mighty works in your name?’
We did many mighty and good works in your name. Why can we not enter!?
