I don’t believe that
most of us really believe this is true.
We live like judgment is not going to happen for a long time. There doesn’t seem to be any urgency at all
about our lives. We live in the flesh
with little real regard for the spiritual.
We know that judgment is going to happen, but not today, not now.
There is little
concern about the fruitfulness of our lives.
We seem to believe that being saved is all we need to be concerned
about. It is not uncommon for professing
believers to live with very little, if any spiritual fruit to show for their
lives. Most believers will not even
reach one soul for Christ in their lifetime.
There is a contentment to be pew sitters and not be doers of the
Word. There is little thought given to
the need to be productive servants of the Lord.
Jesus warns us in
today’s verse that there is serious judgment that is going to take place for
all who do not produce good fruit. Words
don’t mean much if they aren’t backed up by actions. A true child of God shows it by the way life
is lived. A true believer does much good
and influences many people for Christ throughout his life. Christ cannot be in you without changing you
and making you into an effective life witness for Him.
Are you producing good
fruit, fruit that is pleasing to the Lord?
