The book of Matthew chapter 7 verse 13 states:

Enter through the narrow gate: for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the away that leads way to destruction, many are those who are entering through it.  But the gate is narrow contracted by pressure and the way is straitened and compressed leads away to life, and few are those who find it.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.  The first step is accepting Jesus into your heart, and allowing Him to be your Lord and Savior of your life.  Then it's renewing your mind daily in the Word of God and spending time with Him and getting to know Him is what will build build your foundationon the Rock (Jesus).  The book of Matthew chapter 7 verse 24 states:

So everyone who hears these words of mine and acts upon them (obeying them) will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) who built his house upon the Rock.  The rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against the house:  Yet did not fall because it had been founded on the Rock.  Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon sand.  The rain fell and the floods came and the wind blew and beat against the house and it fell and great and complete was the fall of it.

Once you've accepted Jesus and you're putting the Word into your heart, Satan will come and try to steal it from you by various trials and he will challenge your faith.  He comes to steal, kill, and destroy, that's why spending time with God and getting to know Him and His Word will keep you safe on a firm foundation.  You will not be decieved by the lies of the enemyand you will have the Word of God which is the sword of the spirit to destroy him with.  The book of Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10 states:

In conclusion be strong in the Lord (be empowered through your union with him); draw your strength from Him (that strength which his boundless might provides).
