Matthew 7:21-27

21“1Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 222Many will say to Me on 3that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many 4miracles?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; 5leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

24“Therefore, 6everyone who hears these words of Mine, and 7acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25And the rain fell and the 8floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not 9act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27And the rain fell and the 10floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and its collapse was great.”
