A tree is known not by the water poured on it, but by the quality of the fruit it bears
In the Gospel of Matthew 7:16, we read: “By their fruits you will know them.”
Matthew 7:16 is part of the Sermon on the Mount preached by our Lord Jesus Christ. In today’s world, where we have an ever increasing focus on rituals and the value given to them, it is important to understand the importance of the spiritual fruit of our lives. Thus a fruit tree is not known by the water poured on it, but by the quality of fruit it bears in the world.
In a similar manner, our lives are measured by how we have changed to become good human beings. Understanding our human nature, we must always strive to become better persons in the situations that we are placed in. Through our daily prayers and actions, our lives will yield spiritual fruit from the trials and tribulations we face from day to day. When we do this, we are climbing the ladders of spirituality and faith in the living Christ Jesus our Saviour. Praise God!
