The house that stands

Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus uses the parable of the two builders to illustrate the importance of building one's life on a firm foundation of obedience to his teachings. This parable emphasizes that true faith is not just about hearing Jesus's words but also about putting them into practice. 

1 Corinthins 3:11-15Jesus lays that groundwork for believers when they receive His salvation. Christ's saving grace gives His followers a new life. Sins are wiped away so that we have a clean “work site,” so to speak. Empowered by Jesus' strength and wisdom, we can build on His foundation.
