Matthew 7:24-27 commentary: Build upon a rock. What is that rock? It is the word of God. But what are we to build? We should build that which will be permanent. Nothing on earth has been permanent; not buildings, not churches, not the Temple of Solomon, not countries, not lives, not anything. The only permanent things are those stored in heaven as explained to us in Matthew chapter 6:19-21. The things stored in heaven are Jesus and the book of life about us written by God describing our works (figuratively) as in Malachi 3:16-18 and Philippians 4:3. We take our soul and our heart to the judgment seat and if confirmed (written in the book of life) our resurrected body is taken into the Kingdom. 1 Titus 1:5 states: “Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:” The pure heart is the house we are building. The good conscience is the mind we are building. The unfeigned faith is the soul we are building. Charity; our works out of our pure heart, good conscience, and true faith. We build our soul and heart with the help of the Holy Spirit throughout our life. Are we doing well in this building effort?
