TOPIC: Known by Their Fruits
SCRIPTURE: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. – Galatians 5:22-23
Recommended Reading: Matthew 7:15-20
How does one distinguish wolves from sheep? Jesus’ answer: “Therefore by their fruits you will know them” (Matthew 7:20). The true nature of people will ultimately reveal itself by their words and deeds. Paul said as much when comparing those who live by the Spirit of God and those who live according to their carnal nature. The outward manifestation of both separates the two. Specifically, those who live by the Spirit reveal the life of Christ—what Paul calls “the fruit of the Spirit.”
The fruit of the Spirit doesn’t mean perfection. But over time, Christ in us should be evident to others.
A machine can do work; only life can bear fruit.
