Receiving The Word Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 29, 2008

Jesus is addressing those who think they believe, who think they follow God. They had the notion that they were children of God, but had never yielded to Him the depth of allegiance that is at the core of real belief. It is a dangerous spiritual state.
