Fake Fruit
June 11, 2021
The Bible teaches us to remain connected to Jesus, as He lives in us through the Holy Spirit, in order so that our lives will bear His fruit. As He continually works in us, His fruits such as love, joy and patience begin to grow and others get a taste and want what we have.

As Christians, we are children of God and therefore we need to set an example for everyone around us of what it looks like to obey our Heavenly Father. There are always others watching how we live, especially children, and many will imitate us. We must instruct them to honor God in the way they live by living it out in our own lives.

Just like the Israelites in the Bible had seen God provide for them in miraculous ways over and over and still they turned from Him, we can easily get caught up in making idols for ourselves out of the things in this world no matter how much God has proven Himself to us. No matter how wild we may get wrapped up in our sin, the wildest thing is that He will always accept us back.

There are circumstances in our lives that can effect how we receive God’s Word, but despite our circumstances we can always choose to receive it the way He wants us to.

When we hold onto sin in our lives, we dirty our hearts more and more. God cannot live amongst sin and therefore brings us through fiery circumstances for the purpose of refining us and cleaning us up.

We all deserve to be squashed like bugs because of the sins that we have committed, yet God has chosen to show us mercy and grace because of His love for us. When we humble ourselves and come to Him begging for mercy, we receive it and can then give it to others.

Too often we pick and choose what we want to relinquish control over in our lives but we don’t give God everything. He doesn’t want to share His rule over our lives, He wants us to completely surrender and let Him call all the shots.

As Christians, we are called to use our time on earth wisely, doing the things God has called us to do and realizing that the stuff here on earth is just stuff and we can’t take it with us. God has called us to run a race, and so let us run that race to the best of our ability, investing all that we’ve got and bringing others alongside us as we run.

The Bible tells us that we will face suffering and persecution merely for living godly lives, but that our relationship with God is more valuable than avoiding that suffering. Everyone suffers, but the difference between the world and us is that we have the power of God in us and His presence surrounding us at all times.

The Bible warns us many times about watching the words that come out of our mouths because it indicates what is in our hearts. If the words that we speak are not God-pleasing, Jesus-loving words then we should be asking ourselves where our heart is at and get right with God.
