Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:20-21
This passage taken from Matthew simply reminds us that talk is cheap. This verse declares in the very beginning that by their fruits you will know them; this means that we have to be careful to observe the people we interact with and the kind of fruit they bear. So many of us get caught up in the elaborate or eloquent words people use, but Jesus reminds us today that we must look deeper than the outward appearance… Taking this to a worldly view, we see many mega-churches today and so much corruption at the same time! How is this possible you ask, because people are following the messenger with his/her style and swag instead of heeding and seeking the word of God! So many people end up in abusive relationships or get hurt because they focus on the wrong things in a person and ignore the fruit that they bear… These are the things that we are being warned about today, as a child of God, we must be proactive in defeating the enemy; this is accomplished by seeking the will of God and not allowing others to deter us from his divine paths… Jesus says, “Not every one that saith Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven…” This tells me that not everyone who speaks the word of God is about the word of God, not everyone who goes to church is a part of the church, and that it is only by the fruit that they bear that we can know who they are… Let us remember today that it is not about appearance when it comes to the will of God, it’s not about what you say, it is not about how well you talk or how intelligent you are, but rather how you profess your love for Christ through your actions and your lifestyle! In short, TALK IS CHEAP!!!!
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
