In the Garden of Eden, God planted the Tree of Knowledge. He told Adam and Eve that they could eat the fruit of any tree except that one. Eventually they took the fruit and ate it. That fruit exposed their inner desire to no longer have God as their source of knowledge. Today, each of our lives produce fruit. That fruit also exposes what’s in our heart. We can say we believe or live a certain way, but the fruit will always outweighs our words. You cant say you’re an orange tree with apples on your branches. No one would believe you. People see the fruit that our lives produce. We can’t claim one thing while producing another. Fruit is the visible evidence of our internal source. We will always be identified by our fruit.
Here are some Bible verses on
1. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.
Colossians 1:10 NLT
2. You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you.
John 15:16 AMP
3. A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.
Matthew 7:17-19 NLT
4. My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples.
John 15:8 AMP
5. A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad.
Matthew 12:33 NLT
