JUST HOW IS YOUR HOUSE BUILTMatthew 7:24-27 (KJV) 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. The sermon on the mount begins with the blessedness of the poor in spirit, and ends with the ruin of the proud, self-confident professor. The end of this sermon is the end of all Christian teaching. Life and death, righteousness to those who believe and obey, ruin to those who do not obey.A critical Comparison. He that heareth and doeth is likened to a wise man. The connection between hearing and doing is very vital. Those who have the blood-sprinkled ear must also have the blood-sprinkled foot Leviticus 8:24 (KJV) 24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. The hearer only is a fool. He is like a man taking shelter in the plans of a building instead of in the house. like a man rowing with one oar. If the hearing does not affect the fingers and the feet it profits nothing.A Common Need. A house. A house is one of the common necessities of man. "A wise man built his house." There is responsibility resting upon every man with regard to his own house. A house is:A Place of Shelter. Man needs a hiding-place from the storm and the tempest of GODS wrath against sin. The wrath of God abideth upon every unbeliever John 3:36 (KJV) 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. A Place of Rest. A resting-place is needed from the busy, bustling, bothering cares and sorrows of this present life. A Place of Fellowship. Man's needs will never be fully met until he is brought into fellowship with the Father and the Son.A critical requirement. A Rock. A SOLID FOUNDATION "That Rock was Christ" 1 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV) 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. A COMING Trial. Rain, floods, winds beat upon the house. The rain tries the roof, the floods the foundations, the winds the whole structure.—the world, the flesh, and the devil. The foundation holds.THE HOUSE BUILT ON THE SAND It fell, and great was the RUIN of it Luke 6:49 (KJV) 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. It fell in the time of his greatest need. He hoped it would save him but hoping, without Christ, is vain and disastrousTHE HOUSE BUILT ON THE ROCK25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.IT STOOD THE TEST OF THE STORM IN THE SAVING OF LIFE . SAFE IN THE LORD PEACE IN KNOWING GOD WILL KEEP YOU SAFE SAFE IN THE ARMS OF GOD ................
