The Bible Study New Testament

Luke 6:46-49

Why do you call me, Lord, Lord? Many fool themselves by being "all talk and no action" [even though they do things which they think are important]. See notes on Matthew 7:21-27. Dug deep. Luke adds that the one man dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. The foolish man built his house on the ground, without laying a foundation. We must build on The Rock who is Christ our Lord, The declaration of faith (Matthew 16:16) must be believed in our hearts (Romans 10:9-10) and declared with our lips for us to build on the Rock (Matthew 16:18; Mark 16:16) and be saved.
