SUMMARY OF MATTHEW 7:21-29
Only those who do the will of the Father will get into heaven. Basically, those who aren’t hypocrites and truly have a heart for God.
Those who follow God’s law and Jesus’s teaching will have a firm foundation like someone who built his house on a rock. Those who don’t are like the foolish man who built his house on sand, so the house eventually fell under the strain.
The crowds were amazing as Jesus’s authoritative teachings.
Questions for Matthew 7:21-29
12) Those who have a true heart for God enter the kingdom of heaven. Others don’t. We need Jesus and through Him, we find life. Lord, give me your heart, so I can live your way and follow your path and not my own. Let me find you everywhere I go and in all things and share that love for you with others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
13) The rock is rooted. It does not move. It supports the house and everything in it. Our rock is Jesus. His work is our salvation, which is the foundation of our lives. Isaiah 28:6 tells us that Jesus is the cornerstone. 1 Corinthians 3:11 tells us that Jesus is our foundation. Builders build by submitted to Christ as our Savior and living by faith, doing God’s will, and following His ways.
14) God’s truth holds us firmly in place. We are not subjected to the whims of the wind. Those who do not have Jesus build on sand that moves and crumbles. Sand is not solid. I stand solid with God. Jesus is my rock and Savior. I want to strengthen that more and share that with others.
Conclusions to Sermon on the Mount Matthew 7:21-29
If your heart is on Jesus, you are saved. If you are only going through the pretenses of being with Christ, you are not saved. Period.
The wise come to Jesus and have a solid foundation of faith. The foolish do not follow Christ and live on shaky ground.
Find security in God’s love and God will bless you, others, and society as a whole.
