Summary
Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount by presenting four contrasting pictures of how to live: the narrow gate leading to life versus the wide gate leading to destruction, false prophets versus true believers known by their fruits, religious appearance versus genuine faith in God, and building one's life on rock versus sand. The sermon challenges religious people to move from mere profession to true surrender and submission to Christ.
Highlights
I never knew you. It was once said that the distance by which some people go to hell is about 12 inches from their head to their heart.
True biblical faith, true biblical belief is something that is not just a mental ascription to a list of facts and doctrines. It is a whole life surrender to the lordship of Jesus Christ.
You will know the false prophets by their fruits, you will also know true Christians by their fruits. Those who love Jesus, obey his commands.
