“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock." (Matthew 7: 24 NABRE)
Several places in His teaching, Jesus stresses that what brings life, healing, prosperity and salvation is not hearing the word of God, or knowing or teaching the word. It is doing or acting on the word. Why? Because it is not what you know that transforms you. It is what you do daily. Salvation comes from conversion which happens every day. The will of the Father must be obeyed not just every Sunday, or once a month but daily. This is what opens the door of the Kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 7: 21)
God keeps in peace a person of firm purpose. This person trusts in the Lord forever as eternal Rock. (Isaiah 26: 4)
Come O Lamb whom John proclaimed.
