Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them
Bible Reading for A Year:[bible]Psalm6[/bible];[bible]Matth6[/bible];[bible]iiKin3-4[/bible]
What is the evidence that we are alive? It would be an easy question to answer, for example: we are breathing, growing, are mentally aware, and are living a life by doing various activities.
But what is the spiritual evidence, is our spirits also alive? A new birth will grow in spiritual life, and then as Jesus says in [bible]Matth7:17[/bible], "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit." Spiritual man who is alive and healthy will produce fruit.
The question is, what kind of good fruits that we should produce as a living spiritual man? It will be clearly answered in [bible]Galat5:22-23[/bible], "But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." So, have we already produced the fruit of the spirit? In order to know it exactly and accurately, try to ask the people who are around you every day and hang out with you, because they can feel the fruits of our lives.
What a pity if we think that we have already known and believed in Jesus Christ, think that we have already been saved, and restored, but do not produce any good fruit of spirits. If our faith does not change our lives, then our faith does not save us. That's why we need to check our lives. As Jesus says, "A good tree that produces bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce fruit well.And every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." ([bible]Matth7:18-19[/bible]).
So where does the world can know that we are followers of Christ? From the fruit we bear. Therefore, please make sure that our lives bear some good fruits.
