Known by the Savior: Ultimately with R.C. Sproul

Summary

R.C. Sproul explores the critical distinction between superficially knowing Jesus and being truly known by Jesus, drawing from biblical passages like the Sermon on the Mount. He emphasizes that on the Day of Judgment, merely claiming to know Christ or performing religious actions is not enough, as Jesus may ultimately say "I never knew you" to those whose hearts are far from Him. The sermon warns Christians about the danger of religious performance without genuine intimate relationship, highlighting that eternal salvation depends not on our knowledge of Christ, but on Christ's redemptive knowledge of us. The key takeaway is that true faith is characterized by a deep, personal connection with Jesus, where He knows and claims us as His own.
