Assurance of Salvation...

Big topic hey! Well I'm not covering it. I have just been listening to some sermons on it recently and one thing really struck me in the midst of the topic...It's centered around a question. The question is which is the correct question? "Do you know Jesus? OR "Does Jesus know you?" I have come to think that Biblically it's the latter one that really matters. I don't even think the first one is anywhere in the Bible. There are lots of verses to back this up but I'll give you just one to send you off on your own search.
Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"

Does Jesus know you?
