Context of Matthew 7:25
23and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness. 24Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock; and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. 26And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand; 27and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.

Commentaries on Matthew 7:25

There are three general kinds of trials…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24-27Verses 24-27 Jesus closes the sermon on the mount by a beautiful comparison, illustrating the benefit of attending to his words. It was not sufficient to “hear” them; they must be “obeyed.” He compares the man who should hear and obey him to a man who built his house on a rock.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-29Verses 21-29 Christ here shows that it will not be enough to own him for our Master, only in word and tongue. It is necessary to our happiness that we believe in Christ, that we repent of sin, that we live a holy life, that we love one another. This is his will, even our sanctification. Let us take heed of resting in outward privileges and doings, lest we deceive ourselves, and perish eternally, as multitudes do, with a lie in our right hand. Let every…Read the comment
