What kind of life we
live reveals who really controls our lives.
We do not have to do all the things the world does in order to be under
Satan’s control. We can be “good people”
in the eyes of the world and go to hell when we die. In fact, I believe most people fall into that
category. What makes a person good and acceptable
to God is not what we do; it is in whom we put our trust. Without putting our trust in Christ, we may
do much good in the world, but we will lose our souls.
It doesn’t matter what
we profess to be; if our living doesn’t match up to our profession, we are not
who we claim to be. We cannot live in
fellowship with Christ and fail to produce godly fruit. A child of God shows the characteristics of
God in his life. God is holy and His
children show evidence of holiness in their lives. The only way to really know what that means
in practical terms is to open up God’s Word and take note of what He says about
how we are to live. A closed Bible
results in ungodly living.
Good fruit is only
produced on properly nourished trees.
There has to be amble amount of necessary ingredients for it to grow and
produce. It is the same with our
souls. We must feed our souls what they
need in order for them to grow and produce.
We must be vigilant in what we allow our souls to feast on. No one can properly take care of your soul
for you but you. A neglected soul will
produce bad fruit that is of no eternal value at all. Only a soul that produces good fruit will see
God.
When properly taken
care of, our souls will produce much good fruit that brings honor and glory to
Christ. You are what you produce.
