Matthew 7 (King James Version)
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

There are self professing Christians that believe Jesus is nothing more than a get out of hell free card. They are unrepentant, live a life lead by sin, and do not do the will of the Lord Jesus Christ's Father, that is God the Father, that's what this is talking about.
You said, "you will say Jesus is the god;" however, John 1:1-14, Colossians 1:13-17, 1 Timothy 3:16, 2 Corinthians 4:4 says that Jesus is God manifested in the flesh, that He is creator of heaven and earth, and everything that abides in and on them. Compare these verses with Genesis 1:1, which says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
As 1 John 5:7 puts it, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
What does this mean? This can best be explained with the understanding of the Holy Trinity. Even though the word "Trinity" isn't biblical, there are passages that do suggest it. Taken from http://www.letusreason.org/Trin7.htm, "The Trinity is not three substances but three persons existing simultaneously, which are the one essence. These person's are not separate from the essence, they subsist in it. Nor are there three essences that would make them three God's. God is tri-une as persons but in nature one God. As Athanasius coined the phrase 'not dividing the substance nor confusing the persons.'"

Look closely at Matthew 7:23 - they are not rejected for wrong doctrine, but for practicing iniquity, that is, not striving against sin in their lives. We are not saved by running around chasing demons or doing works while professing His name. We are saved because we put our full trust in Him, which is evidenced by striving to live a life pleasing to God, particularly in loving others, including the downtrodden, poor, despised of the world, and even our enemies.
You should read the NT a little more closely. Several times it is recorded that someone Jesus healed returned and fell at His feet and worshipped Him (Literal Greek rendering, SAME Greek word where Jesus said we are only to worship God). And in NO instance does it record Him rebuking them for doing so.
God loves you, and you are worth saving.

Who cares... Jesus was a human like me and you and everyone else. He was not God so it doesn't matter if he loves you or not.
Exodus 33:20
"And GOD said, You cannot see My face: for no man shall see Me and live."
So if they saw Jesus then he is not GOD... plus if he was GOD why did he pray to GOD and not himself?
Also how can he be the son and the Father at the same time? If I am my father's son then obviously I'm not my father... we are two different individuals!

You're not making a very compelling argument for anyone to become a Christian with a message like this.
- ?Lv 71 decade ago
it is written He loved us before we loved him! of course that applies to the early saints.
jesus said no greater love has a man than he lay his life down for others. speaking of the atonement, specifically.
p.s. it is also written that no one comes unto the son except teh FATHER brings him.

John 14:6-7 - Jesus said to him, “I AM the way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:9-11 - Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?”

Hebrews 1:8,9 - But to the Son He (God) says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
2 John 1:7 - For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Hebrews 4:15,16 - “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
1 Peter 2:24 - “who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we having died to sins, might live for righteousness - by whose stripes you were healed.”
He went from sovereignty to shame and from deity to death? Why!? For you.
John 15:13
