What type of spiritual fruit are you producing? Matthew 7:20 “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”. It is not man’s duty to judge others. It is our duty to be observant of the words and actions of others. We are to be observant so that we will know who to align ourselves with. If we associate ourselves with those that are not in God’s will then we are in danger of being led astray ourselves. Evaluating the lives of others will also give us an idea of who may or may not be a child of God so that we may share the gospel with them or, if they are a brother or sister in Christ, rebuke them in love if needed. We should also be a skilled “fruit inspector” in order to keep ourselves on the narrow path of righteousness. When we see that we are getting dangerously close to the edge of the path, we can redirect our steps to a direction more pleasing to our Father. There are two intertwined abilities we must have to be knowledgeable concerning spiritual fruit. One is to know and understand God’s written word. The only way to do this is through regular bible study both alone and in groups of believers. Two is be in tune with the Holy Spirit so that He may guide you in the direction that your King would have you journey. Are you producing biblically accurate fruit in abundance? If not, why not?
