In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds His disciples that not everyone who says to Him, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of His Father in Heaven.
He tells them, “Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.”
Everyone dreams of entering the Kingdom of God. But how do we enter the Kingdom of God? The key is belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.
All who truly believe in God, listen to His will, and practice His word in deeds have a great possibility of entering the Kingdom of God.
Call to Action for Catholic Living: Prepare to enter the Kingdom of God by being obedient to God’s law, having sincere faith in God, and living humbly.
Lord, help us to obey Your law and live according to Your will. Amen.
