Matthew 7:24-27
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 “But 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.”
Many people would like to know how to abide in Jesus and bear much fruit. One way to be like Jesus and prosper in life in all ways is to know what He taught and through the power of the Holy Spirit do what He said. Jesus has only just finished preaching the Sermon on the Mount when He said these verses about building your house on the rock. Jesus was saying, "Guys you just heard how I said to live your life, now it is time to obey Me!"
The sad thing that is the truth in Christian circles that I walk in, is that most Christians I know have never heard of the commandments of Jesus, let alone be living a life obeying them! In this book we are going to cover forty-nine of the commandments of Jesus and I am going to give a brief outline of what they mean.
We live in times that are getting dark right now. There is coming hard times and storms to this world very soon, and yet the people that are close to Jesus and who obey Him in the way that they live their lives will not be shaken and will not fall.
