How to build your life ?

 Luke 6:46-49

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

The concern here is that people show respect or act as Christians but unwilling to

submit to HIS authority or surrender. They lead a double life.

Religious but not serious about the obedience to God's word.

Three fundamental principles or value to lead a holy Christian life :

1. Practice what you preach

2. Obedience provides protection.

3. Disobedience invites destruction.

Our life is compared to a house, and through that he is emphasizing on the storms as trials and challenges that storm against our life.  

1 Peter 1:6-7

In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

And these storms or trials in this life are to test the genuineness of our faith. To make us strong and pure refined by fire.

And at the end of the journey, Jesus promised us an inheritance that is imperishable, undefined, unfading kept in heaven for you.

The wise builder come to Jesus, hear the words, obeys and does that in his life where as the foolish didn’t.

Our Christian life, we should always prepare for a disaster. Either we are just recovering from one, going through one or stepping into one.

Building our life on the foundation of Lord Jesus Christ will help us to overcome fear, loss, temptations, daily struggles, financial losses, death and all worldly pleasures.

Meditate word of God, Come to Jesus and be Obedient to HIM.

Lead a principle driven life with Christ because he gave us HOPE of eternity.

God Bless.
