20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. - Matthew 7:20.
Do you know how to tell if a person is Christian? By the fruit they produce-or is it. You have to back up and look at scripture and ask yourself? If the fruit of the Spirit is the fruit of Christ-Spirit of Christ, Which it is. Scripture establishes that fact by the scripture. If scripture establishes that fact how can I know you are a christian by simply inspecting your fruit. Watching your reactions, watching how you handle others, the way you conduct your life. Stay with me a minute.
If you producing fruit (note 'you producing' is a misnomer) is a way to check out your salvation' and to check out if you are one of us (finger quotes). How is it possible for another person to judge anyone other than themselves by the fruit they produce.
Now I want to claim 'I' as in us, in my lazy thinking (being polite) had rather look at you and your mess and not look at scripture and me and my mess. So I want to make the nod that if fruit was the credentials of salvation as some suppose-then there is probably about 3 people in here alone that is saved haha, and I'm not one of them. Being a little facetious but if you ever read along and follow some of the battle's (which I get) none of us are saved. Just by my thinking alone I would not be a Christian and you cannot act like you are any different because we are all the same. We are all made of the same stuff.
Our father has no super children, some maybe better looking but not any better . Some may be better off but not any better, but we judge different, I know I do in my stinking thinking. We are quite the peculiar bunch as scripture says (it doesn't lie). I hope you can let your hair down today and enjoy what our father has done-doing in all lives. I just wanted to try to lighten and brighten your day with a somewhat humorous thread. You be blessed as you are. And remember the fruit that comes out of you "is Christ" alive in you as you as your only life for living.
