Everyone who hears my words but doesn’t put them into practice is like a foolish person who built a house on the sand.
But here’s what people are like who listen to my words but don’t obey them: They’re like a person who builds a house on soft ground instead of solid rock. The moment the river rushes against that house, it falls down and is destroyed.”
You foolish person, do you want proof that faith that doesn’t take action is useless?
“So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise person who built a house on a rock.
The rain came down, the water rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, but it didn’t fall, because it was built on a rock.
The rain came down, the water rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a loud crash.”
