Matthew 7:24 So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock. 25 And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
In order to have this firm foundation, where we’re not destroyed by the issues of life, we must hear and be obedient to the words of Jesus. Let’s discover some of the words of Jesus.
John 14:1 says, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
-Jesus lets us know we must believe in Him and love.
When we completely believe in Him and all He’s accomplished for us, we’re not stressed or worried about whatever life brings. We know that through Him we’ve been reconciled with God, through Him we’ve been forgiven, and through Him all of our needs and desires have been met. Our faith is in What Jesus has accomplished.
But, we can’t stop there. In order for our faith to work, we must love (Galatians 5:6). We can’t be filled with malice or hate towards God or another person and expect to receive the blessings from God. In spite of what was done to us or how we feel, we must love.
Build a foundation on solid rock by obeying the words of Jesus.
