Matthew 7:21 is an indictment of people who come to the judgement seat depending on their works to justify them .. clear evidence that they never knew Christ .. nor He them.

Absolutely false!

It is an indictment of those who thought “grace” (falsely construed) would save them without righteousness.

Yeshua, James, Paul and John all vigorously preached righteousness through obedience to Torah.

John even explicitly stated that the very definition of sin is transgression of Torah.

James and Paul explicitly stated that Doers of the law, not hearers of the law would be justified.

Yeshua said plainly that those that keep the Father’s commandments would be saved.

There is nothing in any part of the word that says anything contrary to that.

What was salvation for Adam and Abraham is salvation for all. Yehova is One Elohim, he changeth not.

You are presenting clear evidence here that you do not know Yeshua, yet you appear to think you have some lock on salvation. How do you differ from the recipients of the message of Matthew 7?

No. You don't come to the judgement depending on anything. It's not a negotiation. You're judged by your works. Everyone is. Your works have to be the right works that Christ requires of each of us. Matt 25:33-46 is explicit in describing why those are saved are saved and those that are cast out receive their reward.
