“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mt 7:21
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Mt 7:24
The person Jesus is speaking about here in (vs 21) is someone who continues to pray over and over again to the Lord, with no results. Why? Because there is no obedience. The word “saith” is the Greek word (legon) meaning ‘continually’, thus Jesus is speaking to those who ‘continually’ ask, yet don’t do what God’s ask. Seek His favor but refuse to live in His faith.
It is impossible (vs 24), to serve God without obeying His Word (and doeth them). The man whose life collapses under the weight of circumstances is at fault not because he fails to labor, but because he fails to labor according to the Word.
‘A ton of prayer will not produce what an ounce of obedience will.’ … HSAY
