WE ARE ALL KNOWN BY OUR FRUIT

WE ARE ALL KNOWN BY OUR FRUIT

 

*  Matthew 7:15-20 (SLV) – “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly, they are ravening wolves.  You shall know them by their fruits.  Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  No!  Likewise, every good tree produces good fruit; but a corrupt tree produces evil fruit.  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.  Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.  So, by their fruits you shall know them.”

*  John 12:23-25 (SLV) – “And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone:  but if it dies, it shall bring forth an abundance of fruit.  He who loves his life in this world, shall lose it; and he who hates his life, in this world, will find that he has eternal life.”

*  Romans 6:20-23 (SLV) – “For when you were slaves to sin, you were free from righteousness.  What fruit did you gain from those things, of which you are now ashamed?  For the end of those things is death.  But now, being made free from sin and become servants to God, you have the fruit of holiness, and the end of those things everlasting life.  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” – “For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love, serve one another.  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself.  But if ye bite and devour one another, be warned that you may also be consumed by others.  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary to one another: so that you cannot do the things that you want to.  But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law.  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envy, murder, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:  which I told you before, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
