Mathew 7:17-20
"Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
I feel that this is a good verse for today's times. Within the last few months so much has happened, not only in the world today but in the Christian community. People are not sure where to look or what's happening next in their world.
That's where Mathew chapter 7 comes in. It's more about cause and effect. You must have good soft, healthily soil that is free from rocks and anything that may affect its growth (root system), clearance from other trees, and a source of nutrition .
In our walk with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we must have a relationship with them. In gardening there's a word called grafting . Grafting is a technique that whereby tissues of plants are joined to grow together. It takes time and patience for this process to work. The success of this joining requires that the vascular tissues grow together.
We must have the Father, Son and Holy Spirit rooted into every aspect of our lives so that we can grow in their ways, free and clear from the traps of this world- giving God 100% of ourselves. The Bible must be our source of nutrition . It will supply us with what we need in our everyday life.
When we look at how superficial appearances can often mask true intentions, the lesson of Mathew 7:17-20 is profound and relevant to today's times. It reflects on whether our actions align with our professing beliefs and values, prompting a very deep examination of our core integrity and authenticity. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of living out our Christian Faith in all practical ways. not just lip speaking or poor actions.
These verses along with others call us to examine our fruit, values and beliefs. We are to strive for a life characterized by good deeds and righteousness, demonstrating our faith though tangible expressions of love and compassion. These verses are a compelling exhortation to live in authenticity, with integrity and consistency, allowing our actions to testify the depth of faith and the sincerity of our own convictions.
Just remember our choices reflect the desire and condition of our hearts, just as a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree produces bad fruit. Characteristics of good fruit are love, kindness, patience, self-control, and other qualities that align with God's character. On the flip of the coin you have bad fruit which consist of selfishness, deceit, immorality, and any behaviors against God's will for our lives.
In having good fruit we will be able to lead by example in our family, church, family, and with our friends, co-workers, etc.
By them seeing what fruit we bear, they may look to produce the same within themselves for the Kingdom.
So let us reflect on our actions because each choice that we make will impact our world one way or the other. Our good fruit can go bad if a bad choice is made and will effect others in our world. So we have to look upon the word of God to guide us in our decision making. He wants only good for us.
