6:46 「你們為甚麼稱呼我『主啊,主啊』卻不遵我的話行呢?
6:47 凡到我這裡來,聽見我的話就去行的,我要告訴你們他像甚麼人:
6:48 他像一個人蓋房子,深深地挖地,把根基安在磐石上;到發大水的時候,水沖那房子,房子總不能搖動,因為根基立在磐石上(有古卷:因為蓋造得好)。
6:49 惟有聽見不去行的,就像一個人在土地上蓋房子,沒有根基;水一沖,隨即倒塌了,並且那房子壞的很大。」
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.”

主耶穌這段話是有一個中心議題,就是「遵照主的話去行」!
雖然說基督信仰是深入內心的信仰,但是內在改變,外在一定會有所行動!雖然不是靠外在而得救,但是得救的人必定有外在的改變!因為基督信仰是由內而外的變化一個人,而不是藉由外塑來改變內在。
之所以如此,是因為上帝是透過聖靈來工作,聖靈的工作是上帝進入人心的作為,是上帝主動來變化,人是因為這樣就漸漸反應到外在,使人看見上帝的大能!正如《以弗所書》3章20節:「上帝能照著運行在我們心裡的大力充充足足地成就一切,超過我們所求所想的。」
願我們都能經歷這心裡的大力,讓主的榮耀藉由我們來彰顯出去!
