Not everyone who says … but he who does. The faith that says but does not do is really barren unbelief (Matthew 7:20). Jesus is not suggesting that works merit salvation but that true faith will not fail to produce the fruit of good works. This point is also precisely the point of James 1:22-25; James 2:26. ~ MacArthur Bible Commentary

Summary:
A Tree and Its Fruit
I Never Knew You
Build Your House on the Rock
The Authority of Jesus
Today we’ll be reading about trees. Life produces fruit and good trees produce good fruit. There was a great deal of profession in the lives of the scribes and pharisees, but no evidence of spiritual fruit. Do you talk a good game? Well, you have to walk a good game as well. You not only have to talk the talk, but you got to walk the walk. And if you’re not walking the walk, your talk is hollow and cheap and people know it. We’ll read about builders. To build on the rock means to obey the word of God. Saying is not enough. There must be doing. If you claim to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, expect to have your profession tested in this life and the next. Fair weather faith will not pass the test.
