HOW VALUABLE IS YOUR RELIGION?
Matthew 7:21-29
21
Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord,
Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father
in heaven. 22 "Many will say to Me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in
Your name?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from
Me, you who practice lawlessness!' 24 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of
Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the
rock: 25 "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat
on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 "Now
everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a
foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 "and the rain descended, the
floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great
was its fall.'' 28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the
people were astonished at His teaching, 29 for He taught them as one having
authority, and not as the scribes.
