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:

"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

"Come unto me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.

"If you love me, you will obey my commandments,

"If you obey my commands you will abide in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and abide in his love.

For He will render to every man according to his works;

because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.

Be not deceived. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.

So strip off all filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, and in meekness receive the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.

In just the same way faith, if it have not deeds, is by itself a lifeless thing.

This is how we may know that we have come to know Him, by always keeping his commandments.

and whatever we ask we are receiving from him, because we are keeping his commandments and doing those things that are pleasing in his sight.

For love to God means obeying his commandments; and his commandments are not irksome.

"Blessed are they who wash their robes, so that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in by the gates into the City.

Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show his deeds by his good life, in the meekness of wisdom.

And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
