By Their Fruits

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21 KJV). A good tree, one that is healthy and sound, cannot bear bad and worthless fruit, and neither can a sickly and worthless tree bear any kind of good fruit. So, how can a person who is wicked and driven by selfish wants and desires bear any good fruit? Every person is fully recognized by their fruit, which is what is truly in their heart. In this last hour people will be claiming to know Jesus Christ, but some if not many, just hold an outside appearance. In other words, it is just lip service because the fruit does not show through. "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them" (vs. 20). The Lord will know us by our fruits, and the world will also recognize us for who we really are by our fruits. It's so important that we grow intimate with God the Father and seek Him above all things. The Holy Spirit will bring forth the proper fruit in the believer’s life. With this fruit manifested through the Holy Spirit, the world will see us as a different kind of people, and the Lord will recognize us as one of His own adopted children. We can be good and giving people, but if the Lord is not the king of our lives our fruit is still worthless. God bless you. Amen
