🧒 Kids Devotional — Day 76

“Jesus will say, ‘Go away! I never knew you, because you didn’t obey Me.'”

— Matthew 7:23 (Paraphrased)

🚫 Just Saying “Lord” Isn’t Enough

Jesus wants us to do what He says, not just say nice things. If we say we love Him, we should show it by doing what’s right.

It’s like telling your parents, “I love you”—but then not listening when they ask you to clean your room or be kind. Real love listens and obeys.

🧠 Think About It:

• What does it mean to obey Jesus?
• Can I think of one way I’ll obey Him today?

🙏 Let’s Pray:

Jesus, I want to listen and obey You, not just talk about You. Please help me follow You every day. Amen.

😎 Kingdom Teen Devotional — Day 76

“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.'”

— Matthew 7:23 NASB1995

🕳 When Faith Is Fake

Jesus makes it clear: there will be people who sound spiritual but lived like He never mattered. They said the right things, maybe even posted Bible quotes—but behind the scenes, they lived their own way.

Don’t be that person.

🎯 Self-Check:

• Are there things I do that contradict God’s Word?
• Do I want to be known by Jesus—or just admired by others?

🙏 Prayer:

Jesus, I don’t want a fake faith. I want the kind that changes me from the inside out. Help me to obey You when no one’s watching. Amen.
