The builders

{

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

MATTHEW 7:24

24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

MATTHEW 7:24-25

26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

MATTHEW 7:26-27

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

29 Because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

MATTHEW 7:28-29

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

ROMANS 10:17

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

MATTHEW 7:21

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

JAMES 1:22

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

ROMANS 2:13

But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”

2 TIMOTHY 2:19

For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:11

When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.

PROVERBS 10:25

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

LUKE 8:12

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

JAMES 1:22

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:9

10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.

11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:10-17 (NIV)

12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,

13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.

15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

Are you a Wise or Foolish builder?
