Every human being is like a tree. Like a healthy tree, you must bear good fruit. John the Baptist said if you don’t bear good fruit, God will cut you down one day and let you fall in the fire.
You have to bear good fruit, not just any kind of fruit. To bear good fruit, you have to have your faith and your doctrines mixed-up together with the love of God. You have to love God.
You may say, “Don’t we all love God?” No, we don’t love God if we don’t bring Him gifts, and if we try to get the blessings of God in some other way than the way the Bible says.
How do you bear good fruit? Pass out tracts, feed the poor, bless someone who needs something, bring lost people to church, tell your pastor you want to do something for God.
Get started now.
Always say, “I’ll do anything for Jesus.” Never say something like: “Well, going from house to house is not my ministry.” Listen, the ministry of Jesus is your ministry.
