True Disciples Build On Solid Foundation

True Disciples

Matthew 7:21-23

  1. Not everyone who calls out to Me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of My Father in heaven will enter.
  2. On judgment day many will say to Me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in Your name and cast out demons in Your name and performed many miracles in Your name.’
  3. But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who break God’s laws.’
Building on a Solid Foundation

Luke 6:46-49

  1. So why do you keep calling Me ‘Lord!, Lord!’ when you refuse to do what I say?
  2. Whoever comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:
  3. He is like a man who built a house, and dug down deep, and laid the foundation on bedrock; and when the floodwaters arose and the river crashed against that house, it could not be shaken: for its foundation had been securely built upon solid rock.
  4. But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against that house, it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!”

Matthew 7:24-29

  1. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
  2. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
  3. But everyone who hears these words of mine and ignores them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
  4. The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed with a loud crash. And its collapse was a total disaster.
  5. When Jesus had finished this sermon, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,
  6. for He taught with real authority – quite unlike their teachers of religious law.
