This is a much used [and abused] phrase in these times. You will find many versions of what this means from pastors in the many churches. Mostly its about talking and professing ones faith, calling the name of Jesus and claiming to love Him. What did Jesus say about it? Jesus said, in the Parable of the Ten Virgins [Matt 25] that the wise were READY and the foolish were NOT READY.
Who is wise? The wise man keeps the commandments of Christ. Who is foolish? The foolish man does not keep the commandments of Christ. Its that simple.
The Wise:
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: (Matthew 7:24 KJV)
The Foolish:
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: (Matthew 7:26 KJV)
The wise are ready for Christ because they keep the commandments The foolish are not ready because they do other things [none of which Jesus said to do], rather than keep the commandments. They will weep and gnash their teeth for Christ to open the door for them. But the door is shut and only those who keep the commandments will enter.
