       The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 through 7 give us a great deal of information about how life is to be lived for the Christian. Jesus ends that sermon by discussing the difference between one person who builds his or her house on the sand versus another person who builds his or her house on the rock. Jesus states in Matthew 7:24-27, ““Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it”” (ESV). The differences between these two ways to live are startling, and each way has different end result for the quality of life. But how, as humans, do we trust in God? If it were not for the collection of the books of the Bible, we would not be able to trust God. The Scriptures give us all the information necessary for the believer to believe in God.
