15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
Matthew 7:15-20
If you truly have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and if you truly have surrendered your heart and life to the power of His Holy Spirit and if you truly have an authentic relationship with your Creator then there should be evidence of this relationship in the way that you live your life. The book of James says that “faith without works is dead”, because, once you have received the awesome gift of God’s incredible Grace in your life, you can’t help but to respond in a positive way as the power of God begins to heal and restore your brokenness that has occurred as a result of being separated from his love. Jesus calls this change in your life “fruit” as the world around you will be able to see the “fruit” in your life and so they will know that God is real and living inside of your heart of hearts. Draw near to Jesus today and let the fruit of his Spirit shine through life onto others as people today are in desperate need of a Savior!
