Luke 6:43-45 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
So many people today call themselves "Christian", yet they are no more a true follower of Christ than a black cat would be a skunk just because you paint a white strip on it's back. Many people claim to know God but there is no proof of a relationship with Him through His son Jesus. I know because for many years I claimed the same thing until I realized that all I had was head knowledge and no heart experience and there simply was no proof of life. As in this passage Jesus makes it clear that those who follow Him will have evidence (fruit) in their lives that is a dead give away that they follow Him. Man I want people to see Christ in me and if I am called a Christian great, if not so be it, I just want to be known as a follower of Christ.
Father give me strength today to live for you and may others see in me in your son.
