What would your religions fruit be as a whole? Mt 7:14-20?

Mt 7:14-20 " whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life,and few are the ones finding it. Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to you in sheeps covering but inside they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Every tee not producing fine fruit gets cut down and thrown into the fire. Really, then, by their fruits you will recognize those [men]

What would your religions fruit be as a whole? Mt 7:14-20?
LOVE


Galatians 4:22-23 tells us that Love is the fruit of the Spirit. It goes on to show us the different manifestations of love (joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness... etc.).





If this is not the "fruit" you are bearing than there is a problem. John 15 tells us how to produce this fruit. Abide in Christ. My problem has been that I think I need to produce this fruit by my efforts, so I spend a lot of time trying to look fruitful. I end up looking like an apple tree with oranges duct taped onto my branches. Pretty foolish.


What I've come to realize is that as long as I stay connected to the vine, fruit bearing is effortless, it just happens naturally.


The problem with us is that instead of asking how we can stay connected to the vine we want to know how long we can survive detached from it. That is not love, it's compromise.


If you are a real Christian, just spend time with Jesus and as you do there will be evidence of that relationship in your life.


Blessings!
Reply:Well, at the moment, I kind of feel like Noah. He preached for 120 years and had no converts, how is that for fruit? Yet he was called a preacher of righteousness and all who come to God after the Flood have him to thank for it. They way I figure it, keep on preaching righteousness. If their hearts want truth, God, righteousness, they will listen. Just call me Job.
Reply:A kiwi fruit. Soft and furry on the outside, and green inside with tiny seeds. Think about it.
Reply:I've seen some plastic and wax fruit that looks just like the real thing! What is one of the 'prophets' is carrying some of this stuff as he preaches, huh?
