The Bible says that you can decipher a person’s life or character by the fruit he bears. What is a fruit you might ask. Well a fruit means what the person sounds like, behaves like, thinks like, acts like. Actions define a man and how he is on the inside. If you are a bitter person inside then your behaviour or the entire set of actions show up as bitter. For a little while people may be deceived but the truth would be out. When Jesus saw through people’s hearts he often answered their thoughts and questions.
When people like you and me in the 21st century are walking around talking about being a Christian, it is vital to portray wonderful exemplary behaviour that looks like Christ, behaves like Christ, sounds like Christ and most importantly, acts like Christ. Jr is inappropriate to be anything otherwise.
So if your fruits are of good behaviour, kind, thoughtful, compassionate, sharing, encouraging and sincere, then God bless you. If you are a bad person while your present situation might be favourable but let me promise you you are not in the right path. It is high time to turn towards God and be kind to one another. Afterall Christ loved everyone as his own and forgave as he would. Let Christ mean everything in our lives. Be the bearer of good fruit and may God bless you.
