a MUST LISTEN TO message if we are to be saved !!! Yeshua taught important spiritual lessons regarding the fruit of our lives. What are those lessons, and how well are we applying them? Our eternal life depends on this understanding! At the mention of fruit, what are your first thoughts? A snack? A dessert? Your favorite fruits? In ancient and modern times, people have used fruit to mean results, products, outcomes, accomplishments and achievements. An employee must be productive to be worthy of his wage. He must work hard, work fast and work smart to get jobs done and done right. In Scripture, fruit has similar meanings Gods number one concern is for all fruit to be good —the fruit of righteousness (James:3:18). In fact, Yeshua warned, Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and is thrown into the fire to be destroyed (Matthew:7:19). And what is good? Only GOD has the supreme authority to define good and evil. Yeshua went on to say, Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven (Matthew 7:21) And what is GODs will for our lives? It is revealed throughout His Word and is summarized by the two great commandments and the Ten Commandments (Matthew:22:36-40 A fruitless fruit tree will eventually be cut down. Professing without producing is no good. The apostle Paul said in Galatians 5, Walk in the Spirit . . . If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit (verses 16, 25). GODs Spirit enables us to act according to Gods principles—to live a godly life! Without GODs Spirit, we are merely mortal flesh, and the fruits of raw human nature are called the works of the flesh in verses 19-21. After listing these sinful works, Paul warns that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God (verse 21). Pray that when Yeshua returns, we will be found worthy to enter into the joy of the LORD.
