TOPIC: MATURING IN FAITH (Part 4)

Text: “You will know them by the obvious fruits of their lives and ministries.” – Mathew 7:20, TPT.

As we study the scriptures, we will notice that Jesus Christ made some remarkable statements that can help us discern spiritual growth in others.

He emphasised, among other things, that we can learn a lot about a person’s maturity from their ‘fruits’, such as how they act and what they produce. In Matthew 7:20, he says, “Therefore by their fruits you shall recognise them.”

Dear friend, we must constantly examine ourselves to see what ‘fruit’ we produce that demonstrates to others that we are followers of Jesus. We also must sincerely ask ourselves, “How do my values, attitude, interests, conversations, choices, and perspective differ from those who don’t know Jesus?”

We must sincerely desire to be more like Jesus every day, allowing the Holy Spirit to continue producing His fruits in us.

Our spiritual maturity is demonstrated by the fruits we bear and how we reflect Jesus in our world.

TODAY’S TASK:

WISDOM PUSH:

Our spiritual maturity is demonstrated by the fruits we bear and how we reflect Jesus in our world.
