Why listen to teachings and follow them? Why build a house on solid rock?

The verse we look at is from the Gospel of Luke 6:47-48. We have it in 3 versions.

I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. (version NLT)
