In order to be 'known' by Jesus, you must keep listening and following Him.
"My sheep listen to My voice, I know them, and they follow Me." (John 10:27)
"We are sure that we know Christ if we obey his commandments." (1 John 2:3)
Many proclaim their faith, but few put into practice.
Dr. James Binney:
"When I first became a Christian, I assumed that all church going people were automatically qualified for the fast track into heaven. It was a given.
After becoming a church member, then a pastor, I had to rethink the issue. I have encountered many leaders who doubted their faith, others who could not clearly explain how they were saved, and even others who frankly admitted that they had never been saved.
Imagine 20 pastors confessing their lost condition in one city! It happened ..... when George Whitefield preached in Boston.
Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. said, 'I have spent nearly my entire life in association with ministers. Nobody would tell you that every preacher in America is a saved man.'"
