Matthew 7:21-23

Some self-professed athletes can "talk" a great game, but that tells you nothing about their athletic skills.  And not everyone who talks about heaven belongs to God's kingdom.  Jesus is more concerned about our walk than our talk.  He wants us to do right, not just say the right words.  Your house (which represents your life, 7:24) will  withstand the storms of life only if you do what is right instead of just talking about it.  What you do cannot be separated from what you believe.

Jesus exposed those people who sounded religious but had no personal relationship with him.  On "that day" (the day of judgment), only our relationship with Christ - our acceptance of him as Savior and our obedience to him - will matter.  Many people think that if they are "good" people and say religious things, they will be rewarded with eternal life.  In reality, faith in Christ is what will count at the judgment.
