Therefore, By Their Fruits, YOU (Fellow Believers) Will KNOW!

Matthew 7:15-20

THEN, HE (Jesus) Opened HIS Mouth, And Taught Them, Saying: “Beware Of FALSE Prophets (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Come To YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), IN Sheep’s Clothing; BUT Inwardly, They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Are Ravenous Wolves (THROUGH Satan)!  YOU (Fellow Believers) Will KNOW Them (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), By Their Fruits!  Do Men Gather Grapes, From Thorn Bushes, OR Figs, From Thistles?  Even So, Every Good Tree (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Bears Good Fruit (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us); BUT, A Bad Tree (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Bears Bad Fruit (Satan’s Evil Deeds, Performed THROUGH Them)!  A Good Tree, Can NOT Bear Bad Fruit; NOR, CAN A Bad Tree, Bear Good Fruit!  Every Tree (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), That Does NOT Bear, Good Fruit, IS Cut Down, And Thrown, Into THE FIRE (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!  Therefore, By Their Fruits (Satan’s Evil Deeds, Performed THROUGH Them), YOU (Fellow Believers) Will KNOW Them!”

Matthew 12:33-37

BUT, Jesus Knew Their Thoughts, And Said To Them: “Either Make The Tree – Good, And Its Fruit – Good, OR Else, Make The Tree – Bad, And Its Fruit – Bad; For A Tree, Is Known, By ITS Fruit!  Brood Of Vipers!  How Can YOU (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Being Evil (THROUGH Satan), Speak Good Things?  For Out Of The Abundance Of The Heart, The Mouth Speaks!  A Good Man (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Out Of The Good Treasure Of His Heart (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), Brings Forth – Good Things (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us); And An Evil Man (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Out Of The Evil Treasure (Of His Heart, THROUGH Satan), Brings Forth – Evil Things (Satan’s Evil Deeds, Performed THROUGH Them)!  BUT, I (Jesus Christ) SAY TO YOU, That For Every Idle Word, Men May Speak, They Will Give Account Of IT, IN THE DAY Of JUDGMENT!  For By Your Words, YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Will Be JUSTIFIED (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER); And By Your Words, YOU (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Will Be CONDEMNED (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!”

John 15:1-8

Jesus Answered, And Said To Him, “I (Jesus Christ) AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) IS THE VINEDRESSER!  Every Branch In ME (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) That Does NOT Bear FRUIT, HE (GOD Almighty) TAKES AWAY (i.e. Lifts Up And Cleans); And Every BRANCH (IN ME – Fellow Believers) That Bears FRUIT (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us), HE (GOD Almighty) PRUNES (i.e. Molds And Changes Us, To Be More Like HIM, And Less Like The Rest Of Mankind); That IT (Fellow Believers) May Bear, More FRUIT!  YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Are Already Clean, Because Of THE WORD, Which I (Jesus) Have SPOKEN To YOU (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!  ABIDE IN ME (Jesus), AND I, IN YOU (Fellow Believers)!  As The Branch, Can NOT Bear Fruit Of Itself, Unless, IT Abides, IN The Vine; Neither Can YOU (Fellow Believers), UNLESS, YOU ABIDE IN ME!”

“I (Jesus Christ) AM THE VINE, YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) ARE THE BRANCHES!  He (Fellow Believers), WHO ABIDES IN ME, AND I (Jesus Christ), IN Him, Bears Much FRUIT (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us); For Without ME (Jesus Christ), YOU (Fellow Believers) Can Do NOTHING!”

“IF ANYONE (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Does NOT Abide, IN ME (Jesus Christ); He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) IS CAST OUT, As A Branch, And Is Withered; And They Gather THEM, And Throw THEM (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Into THE FIRE (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), And THEY Are Burned (FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!”

“IF YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) ABIDE IN ME (Jesus Christ), AND MY WORDS (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), ABIDE IN YOU; YOU (Fellow Believers) Will Ask, What YOU Desire, And IT Shall Be Done, For YOU!”

“BY THIS, MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) IS GLORIFIED, That YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Bear Much FRUIT (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us); SO, YOU (Fellow Believers) WILL BE MY DISCIPLES (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT – Ambassadors For Christ)!”

Romans 6:22-23

BUT NOW, Having Been SET FREE, From Sin (The Bondage Of Sin), And Having Become, SLAVES Of GOD (GOD Almighty); YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Have Your Fruit, TO Holiness, And THE END – EVERLASTING LIFE (IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!

For THE WAGES (The Payment Due) Of Sin, IS DEATH (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION); BUT, THE (Free) GIFT Of GOD (GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT Of SALVATION), IS ETERNAL LIFE, IN Christ Jesus, OUR LORD!

Ephesians 5:8-13

For YOU (Fellow Believers) Were Once Darkness (THROUGH Satan); BUT NOW, YOU (Fellow Believers) ARE LIGHT (Children Of GOD Almighty), IN THE LORD (Jesus Christ)!  WALK, AS CHILDREN Of LIGHT (Children Of GOD Almighty); For The Fruit Of THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit) IS, IN All Goodness, Righteousness, And TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); Finding Out, What Is Acceptable, To THE LORD (Jesus Christ)!  And Have NO Fellowship, With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers); BUT Rather, EXPOSE THEM (Satan’s Evil Deeds, Performed THROUGH Them)!  For It Is Shameful (IN The Eyes Of GOD Almighty), Even, To Speak Of Those Things (Satan’s Evil Deeds, Performed THROUGH Them), Which Are Done By Them (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), IN Secret (THROUGH Satan)!  BUT, All Things (Satan’s Evil Deeds, Performed THROUGH Them), That Are EXPOSED, Are Made MANIFEST (Unmistakable), BY THE LIGHT (Of Jesus Christ); For Whatever Makes MANIFEST, IS LIGHT (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT)!

Hebrews 2:14-15

Inasmuch THEN, As The Children (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Have Partaken Of Flesh And Blood (The Natural Body), HE (Jesus Christ), Himself Likewise, Shared, IN The Same (The Natural Body); That THROUGH Death (Physical Death Of The Natural Body, i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension), HE (Jesus Christ) Might DESTROY Him, Who Had The Power Of Death, THAT IS, The Devil (Satan); And RELEASE Those (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Who, THROUGH Fear Of Death (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), Were All Their Lifetime, Subject To Bondage (The Bondage Of Sin)!

2 Peter 1:5-8

BUT Also, FOR THIS VERY REASON, Giving All Diligence (Conscientiousness), ADD TO YOUR FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ) – VIRTUE, TO Virtue – KNOWLEDGE, TO Knowledge – SELF-CONTROL, TO Self-Control – PERSEVERANCE, TO Perseverance – GODLINESS, TO Godliness – BROTHERLY KINDNESS, AND TO Brotherly Kindness – LOVE!  For IF THESE THINGS, Are Yours, And Abound; YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Will Be Neither Barren (i.e. Useless), NOR Unfruitful, IN THE KNOWLEDGE Of OUR LORD, Jesus Christ!
