Matthew 7:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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:

“Keep asking,

and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

“Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
