“Many will come in My name…”

I once thought that meant people would literally claim they were Jesus Christ. A few obvious impostors. Easy to spot.

But then it hit me.

Jesus wasn’t only warning about people pretending to be Him. He was warning about people claiming to represent Him.

Wearing His name. Speaking with claimed authority. Drawing people after themselves.

That warning reaches straight into what we now call Christianity.

Agree or disagree — but read the Scripture first.

Christ means Anointed.

Not a last name. Not a label. Not a cultural identity.

Anointed means set apart by God — chosen by God — sent by God.

So when Jesus said, “many will come in My name,” He was warning that many would come claiming His authority, His approval, and His anointing.

That doesn’t look like someone saying, “I am Jesus.”

It looks like this:

• “I speak for Jesus.”
• “God told me.”
• “I’m anointed.”
• “I’m Christian.”

And Jesus said many would be deceived.

Let the Word correct you before the world deceives you.

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
— Matthew 7:21 (KJV)

“I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
— Matthew 7:23 (KJV)

Iniquity means lawlessness.

Claiming God while rejecting His authority.

Obey God’s Word — not your heart.

This is what we are facing today.

People claiming Christianity while openly supporting what God calls sin — and demanding that it be celebrated as love.

You cannot claim Christ and support lawlessness.

• Abortion — the taking of innocent life
• Homosexuality — affirmed instead of called to repentance
• Lawlessness — rejecting God’s commands altogether

This is not political.

It is spiritual.

Let’s talk Bible, not opinions.

“Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
— Luke 6:46 (KJV)

If Jesus is Lord, He is not a label.

He is King.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.”
— 1 John 5:3 (KJV)

Repentance isn’t shame — it’s freedom.

Truth divides. Jesus said it would.

“By their fruits ye shall know them.”
— Matthew 7:20 (KJV)

• repentance
• obedience
• holiness
• humility
• submission to Scripture

Sometimes fruit looks like standing alone.

Many will come in His name. Few will follow Him.

If this resonated, don’t keep it to yourself.
