Today's Favorite Verse: Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
When the scriptures say "by their fruits ye shall know them" this is the very words we can look upon. Is there love and joy? Are they a peacemaker, longsuffering and gentle? Do they work goodness and show faith, meekness and temperate in behavior. Does this person have self-control and show restraint over their appetites and passions. It is not hard to see with our own eyes what their fruits are, and who they follow.
"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
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."
(Matthew 7:16-20)
