Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.
Therefore, it’s not only the preaching, the singing or praying that’s needed; the very lifestyle practices, and health of body and mind are to become center pieces of our day-to-day aspirations, for those who are to give the last message of mercy must speak, and look the part.
God desires to make us living embodiments of what salvation is all about, for Jesus came to give us life more abundantly. Therefore, truths that are held in a theoretical manner framework only, will not make the grade because the last messengers of mercy are being prepared to be specimens of God grace, in its entirety.
Thus, if we are to present truths in our day that are affecting young and old, like such issues on gender, tattoos, marriage, and diets and foods, we too will have to be living up to what we preach, or else the unbelieving world will observe a stark disconnect in what is said, and what is actually being done.
Matthew 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
