You will know them by their fruits

Sometimes people don’t hear words spoken with our lips.

Sometimes they hear but don’t listen.

Sometimes they hear listen but don’t believe what they hear.

Sometimes they hear listen and reject what they hear.

Sometimes they hear but the word is twisted in their minds and they hear something that was not said.

Sometimes they hear listen and deny the truth of what they hear.

Sometimes ears will fail to prove what is spoken with our lips is truth.

But when the truth spoken with our lips is confirmed with the life lived in our bodies it is evidence worth hearing, worth believing and worth receiving.

This is why God always proves His spoken word with signs following.

Mark 16:20

King James Version (KJV)

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.

Hebrews 2:1-4 (KJV)

 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

 Matthew 7:15-20

New King James Version (NKJV)

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.  You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.  Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
