Have you ever heard of the placebo effect? It is what happens when a person’s health improves not because of any real treatment, but simply because they believed it would work. Most delusions are harmless, but Jesus warned about one kind that carries eternal consequences. And He is not talking to atheists or agnostics in this passage. He is not talking about those who are far from God; He is talking about people who walked an aisle, filled out a card, said a prayer, got baptized, and were absolutely convinced they were on the right road. As He closed the Sermon on the Mount, He said the most sobering words I have ever read: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21, NIV). Three warnings from Jesus will help you make absolutely certain you are not kidding yourself.
