“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” (Matthew 7:24-27 NASB1995)
All throughout the New Testament Scriptures we are given this message. If we listen to the words of God, and if we act on them in obedience to our Lord, and so we deny self, we die to sin, and we walk (in conduct, in practice) in obedience to our Lord’s commands, by the Spirit, in the power of God, we will survive the onslaughts of the enemy who is coming against us, and we will have salvation from sin and eternal life with God.
But if we do not obey God and his Word, but we follow the ways of the world, instead, and we live for sinful desires to please the flesh, and not to please God, and so we do not die to sin, then when the storms of life come, and the enemy is doing everything he can to totally destroy us, we will not survive. We will collapse. We will die in our sins without hope, we will not be saved from our sins, and we will not inherit eternal life with God.
And this word here is given to us in the context of the need for us to be those who take the way of righteousness, holiness, godly living, moral living, self-denial, death to sin, and obedience to God and to his commands as the only path leading to salvation and to eternal life with God. For the way to faith in Jesus Christ, which results in salvation and eternal life, is restricted and controlled by God, and it has stipulations we must adhere to.
And this word here is also given in the context of the need for us to beware of those who teach lies disguised as truth, who teach the Scriptures out of context, and who twist them to say what they do not say if taught in context. For they disguise themselves as servants of the Lord and as teachers of truth, but they are inwardly ravenous wolves who come to us in sheep’s clothing, hoping that we will believe their lies and reject the truth.
And this word here is also in the context of Jesus saying that not everyone who says to him, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God the Father. And many will stand before the Lord on the day of judgment claiming all they did in his name, but he will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness,” and because they would not obey the Lord and die to sin.
Therefore, faith in Jesus Christ is not lip service only. We are not of genuine faith in Jesus Christ just because we claim to be, but because how we live gives evidence that such faith exists. For faith in Jesus, which comes from God, and which is not of our own doing, will submit to the Lordship of Christ, die with him to sin, and now walk with him in obedience to his commands, all in the power of God at work in the life of the person of genuine faith.

“Come to Me all you who thirst; come to waters.
Listen to Me, and eat what’s good today,
And your soul will delight in richest of fare.
Give ear to Me, and you will live.
I have made an eternal covenant with you.
Wash in the blood of the Lamb.”
Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him.
Let the wicked forsake his way, in truth.
Let him turn to the Lord, and he will receive mercy.
Freely, God pardons him.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,”
declares the Lord, our God.
“My word that goes out of My mouth is truthful.
It will not return to Me unfulfilled.
My word will accomplish all that I desire,
And achieve the goal I intend.
You will go in joy and be led forth in peace.
The mountains will burst into song… before you,
And all of the trees clap their hands.”
