“In God’s perfect plan, suffering with faith in Christ is
linked to our becoming perfected in Christ. Jesus did not speak of the
possibility of rain and flood and wind in our lives; He spoke of the certainty
that storms will arise. The variable in this parable is not whether storms will
come but how we have responded to His loving invitation to both hear and do
what He has taught. There is no other way to survive. When we have built our
houses on the foundation of a covenantal relationship with Christ, we are
trusting the doctrine of Christ, and as we come unto Him, we have His promise
of eternal life. People who trust the doctrine of Christ press forward with
steadfastness in Christ and endure to the end. There is no other way to be
saved in the kingdom of heaven.” – Elder Evan A. Schmutz
