You Shall Know Them by Their Fruits
Matthew 7: 15-29; Matthew 23
You shall know them by their fruits,
Not their denominations!
For membership in their churches
Guarantees NO-ONE salvation!
You shall know them by their fruits,
Not by the “Christian” brand.
Plenty take that name in vain;
Their foundation built on sand!
You shall know them by their fruits,
Not their performing “pastors”
Spirit-dead NOT Spirit led,
Barren, blind disasters!
You shall know them by their fruits
And the easy tasks they choose.
But doing justice, keeping faith,
Showing mercy? They refuse!
You shall know them by their fruits;
Hypocrites cannot bear
Spiritual fruit of ANY kind.
No fruit – then friend beware!
