Luke 13:24-25
Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence you are.
All you workers of iniquity will hear God say, depart from me I know you not. Keep pretending to know him and you will be found out. Why live a lifetime of pretense? You came to know God, but somewhere down the road you turned your back on him and he will surely make you know it when you get to Heaven since you ignored all of his warnings down here on earth.
What does it mean to depart? Depart means to leave, go elsewhere. God has said to depart from evil, depart from your sin, depart from the
wayward ways of mankind. When you depart however you must turn to something else so as not to return to the thing you left. When you turn away from these things that God is not pleased with,
you must turn to him so that he will sustain you in your walk with Him. Why do man try to sin and hide from God, don't they know that he is too big to hide from? They cannot disguise, conceal, hide, or mask themselves from God. He is the creator of everything and is in direct contact with anything in the earth one may try to use to hide. Adam and Eve tried to hide themselves with fig leaves because they dipped their fingers into the forbidden fruit and took it to their mouths. They were not hungry, just disobedient because they could be. They had grace because they were the first to find out about God's wrath, but every man or woman since then knows better.
Man will not practice what they preach. There is no honor and no discretion to what they will do even in the name of the Lord. God Forbid!
It has come to the attention of God that even his Elect Called Ones has been cheating under the table, sheets, and pews to get what they want. They have laid down the life preserving Word to sin for a season, how hypocritical. They do their alms before man sounding the trumpet in the streets like they are God to get the glory of men, but God say they have their reward.
I Peter 4:16-19
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
Do you think God will spare you when he did not spare his own angels that followed Satan? Satan is a defeated foe, he is God's enemy and he is yours also. Give up the things that comes to hinder the soul from reaching it's destination. It is not about you, but God. Satan cares nothing about you, all he does is make promises, God keeps his promises. And the soul that sin shall die. He could not make it any plainer than that.
After all that Jesus did, the finished work of the Cross, and sending his Holy Spirit back to continue the work in the keeping of your souls until he himself will return; what is wrong with mankind? Those words will ring out, Depart. God knows those that are his and he know their works also. When you love God like you say, how can you just go about committing sin after sin, and never repenting for your wrong. Iniquity is covered or hidden sin, so one knows that they are doing wrong.
When a man or woman profess to know God and keep not his commandments or cherish his Word, they provoke God to anger, they are a stink in his nostrils, and are candidates for Hell. What will God say to you if you were to die right now? Can you without a reasonable doubt say God has a reason to allow you into his kingdom?
To love God is to obey, to obey is to know him and to know him is to keep his Word and Commandments. The more you love him, you want to please him, obey his Word, love your neighbor as yourself and love God like every minute is your last one.

Well said, in these days of "never offend anyone." The truth always hurts. Complacent Christians, beware. I can't remember ever hearing a sermon on God's wrath. It doesn't put bottoms on seats.
