v.11. If we are evil and know how to give good gifts, then think of how many good gifts heavenly Father can give us. And all we have to do is ask?
v.12. Do to others what you would want them to do to you--its a law "and the prophets" ( i don't understand what it means by it is the prophets). Maybe prophets do to others as they would have done to them.
v.13. "Enter ye in at the strait gate;" The easy path is wide and broad and many go that way. I think i sometimes am skipping from one path to another, because sometimes i like what the majority are doing and i want to be cool and popular rather than righteous.
v.16."Ye shall know them by their fruits."
v.18. "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit." and if you're a tree that brings forth bad fruit, you will be cute down, cuz there is no use for you. What does it mean to bring forth good fruit? I think it means selfless service, being rich in scripture knowledge, having faith, meaningful prayer, a sincere heart, a pure heart, refraining from sin to the best of your ability.
v.23. " I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity." So how Christ "knows" us is if we bring forth good fruit and do the will of the Father. We can pray to him, cry to him, read the scriptures, but still he won't know us at the last day. You must DO the will of the Father. How do i know what the will of the father is? By living close to the spirit, which means going to the temple regularly, scripture study, obeying commandments going to church, magnifying calling, etc.
v.24. If we hear the things God commands us and DO them, we are like a wise man who builds upon a ROCK, where rain and storm cannot bring down the house. But there are many who build a house on sand (money, clothes, gossip, hatred, monetary gain, pride, self-glory, fame, etc.) and when a storm comes, BYE BYE! they will have their house washed away like toothpicks. And they will be lift homeless and saddened and all that they gloried in before will be of no worth, they cannot save them.
