Believers Who Actually DO The Word Are The True Stability In Earth!

Scripture: Matthew 7:15-20

In Matthew 7:15-20, we are told in verses 15-16, “Beware false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits, Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?” Answer: No, they don’t! Verses 17-19 continue, “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit. But a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” There is the judgment and justice called for by Isaiah 33:5! Verse 20 concludes: “Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.” How do you tell whether someone is a Christian? Believers actually DO the Word. They reflect the Bible. The Bible IS their standard. The Word of God is their standard. Those are the only people who have true stability in the earth, as He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Because the Word of God doesn’t change, they won’t change. Those are the only people you can trust, especially in leadership. Any one of us can self-identify as a Christian. Do our actions back it up? Do we live like a Christian? Love like one? Forgive like one?

Acknowledging what is in you-Phm 1:6.

 I do not look at people as they are; I look at them as they should be. I look at them as they could be, and I look at them in Christ Jesus, that in Christ, they are complete, and they are whole. That is the way I look at them, and that is how I treat them.

I treat them with dignity, with honour, and with respect, and I choose my words so that they reflect that. My words will reflect honour, and respect, regardless of what I see coming from them or through them.
