WORTHY FRUITS
Matthew 3:7-9
"But when He saw many of the Pharisees and Saducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, 'Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bring fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father." For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.' "
Why don't you tell us, J.B., what you really think about people who think they are righteous because of their lineage and heritage? These religious people thought that they were good with God because they were children of Abraham. I heard it on a radio talk show again, just yesterday – a person who based their standing on that fact that her grandfather was a preacher and on the board of governors of Oral Robert's University. Salvation is a personal thing and is only a work of God making us His children, but it is demonstrated by fruit worthy of repentance. The way I live should be befitting of God's work in my life.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: No one is saved by his works, but fruit should follow salvation.

Have a fruitful day. Love you.
