Matthew 7:25

ObedienceWisdomTrials and adversity

23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.

26 But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

27 The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”
