Jesus said it best in Luke 6:
46 "Why do you call Me, `Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
47 "Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:
48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
49 "But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."
You can either choose to live your life by hearing the words of Jesus and acting upon them, or you can choose to not hear the words of Jesus and not act upon them. The former build their life upon the Rock, while the latter build their life "on ground without any foundation."
The choice is yours.
The evil one comes to steal, kill and destroy; but I Jesus have come that you might have eternal Life and have eternal Life more abundantly - John 10:10
