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.

I love the foundation analogies because it’s so true. If you are grounded in God and His Word, no storm can penetrate or blow you over.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Matthew Lesson 8, Day 5: Matthew 7:21-29

Jesus warns about those who do not have a heart for God. They merely say things without truly believing it. Saying Jesus is your Lord and Savior is not enough. You have to have a relationship with Jesus in order to be saved.

“In that day” or “On that day” refers to Jesus’s Second Coming.

Preaching is not enough. Just ask Judas.

Note that each house most likely looked the same from the outside; it was what was on the inside — the foundations — that mattered.

Your foundations will be shaken by life; it’s important that they stand the test with Jesus. (Proverbs 10:25)

We must be doers of God’s Word. We must seek out God. Doing nothing is almost as bad as doing evil.  (Numbers 32:23) The results are the same.

The listeners had never heard these teachings before, and they had never seen the authority of God. Imagine! I’m sure Jesus had quite the presence.

Once your astonishment is over, it’s time to get to work, implementing the teachings.

Summary of The Sermon on the Mount

This concludes Matthew 5-7, Jesus’s longest recorded speech, the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus is concerned with what was on the inside. During these times, the emphasis was on the front you portrayed to others. Those who were religious tried to outdo each other by fasting for show, praying in public, and wearing Bible verses strapped to their foreheads and left arms. We cannot fool God and fake religion. He knows that inside we are broken and need a Savior.

These three chapters are among the most studied in the entire Bible. Yet, Jesus says none of this is new. He comes to fulfill the Old Testament and lays out the one truth we must hold dear: we are to live for God alone. A heart living, not one of appearances.

I hope you enjoyed these chapters as much as I did. They are full of great heart advice and reminders of who is our king and who we live for.
