The Living Word #119: Matthew 7:24

If someone knew how to heal themselves from a fatal disease but didn't apply that knowledge, we wouldn't think that they were very wise. Yet many of us walk around with the knowledge of salvation gained from reading or hearing about Jesus' teachings yet don't apply those teachings to our daily lives. In today's verse, Matthew 7:24 from the NIV, Jesus talks about the need to put our knowledge to work: "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." Like all of Jesus' teachings, we should not only keep this verse in mind but also live it out! God bless you! Background music provided by and copyright Craig Anderson (dub4k.com).
