Luke 6
46 And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Both the True Prophet and the false prophet will freely use the title “Lord,” but Christ is “Lord” only to those who obey His Word.)
TWO FOUNDATIONS
47 Whosoever comes to Me (truly accepts Christ), and hears My sayings (the Word of God), and does them (the hearing must culminate in the doing), I will show you to whom he is like (the end result):
48 He is like a man which built an house (we ought to grow in grace and knowledge), and digged deep (deep into the Word), and laid the foundation on a rock (that “Rock” is Christ and Him Crucified [1 Cor. 1:23]): and when the flood arose (problems will arise), the stream beat vehemently upon that house (Satan will try to destroy the house), and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock (once again, “that Rock” is “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified,” which must ever be the Object of our Faith).
49 But he who hears, and does not (doesn’t obey the Word), is like a man that without a foundation (the object of his faith is not the Cross of Christ) built an house upon the earth (outwardly this one looked identical to the one built on the rock); against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great (if our Faith is not in the Cross of Christ, things may go well for awhile, but sooner or later the storm will come, and Satan will win the day).
