In these concluding statements, Jesus prepares all of his followers to pass victoriously through God’s final judgment.
- He tells us the standard by which we will be judged, namely the manner in which we ourselves have judged others.
- He tells us that we must seek, and ask, and even knock, in order to receive the gifts our Father has prepared for us, for God will not force any person into his presence against their own will.
- He makes it clear that there are only two ways, and two kinds of fruit trees, and that we will be judged by the fruits or our works, and that only those who do the will of the Father and are "known" to Him shall be allowed to enter.
- He admonishes all to build their lives upon "the rock," upon him and his holy mount.
