MATTHEW 7:20
|
20)Wherefore by their fruits ye
shall know them
|
BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW
THEM
Believers should evaluate
preachers, teachers prophets
words by example of their lives,
just as trees are constant for the
type of fruit it produce, good
teachers, preachers will exhibit
good behavior and high moral
character as they seek to live with
the word of GOD
We must examine teacher their
motives, the direction they are
taking, and the result they are
seeking in their teaching if is line
with the word of GOD, especially
the false teachers, preachers and
prophets who are covetous who
are concerned much more on
Mammon, ceremony, regulation
and lust of life focusing on wealth
as condition to be a child of GOD
false doctrine,
By their faithful or unfaithful
discharge of their duty: if they are
true preacher, teachers or
prophets , by their discharging of
the ministry in a faithful revelation
of the mind of GOD, or by their
compassionate heart, and
discharging their duties in line with
the word of GOD they will bring
out fruit of truth and Holiness
THE WAY OF THE FALSE PROPHET,
TEACHER AND PREACHER:
By outward general conduct:
(1) False prophets who
(MATTHEW 7:15)
(2) Not doing the will of
GOD (MATTHEW 7:21-23)
(3) Mans’s doctrine, rule
regulation ceremonies
(MATTHEW 23:1-33)

MATTHEW 12:33
|
33)Either make the tree good, and
his fruit good; o else make the tree
corrupt: for the tree is known by his
fruit
|
EIHTER MAKE THE TREE GOOD
AND HIS FRUIT GOOD
For the tree is known by his fruit;
fruit will discover what tree is, and
accordingly judgment is made, No
man will say a tree is good ; and his
fruit its corrupt; or say, that a tree
is corrupt, and its fruit is good:
they clear contradictions and can
never be reconciled.
The words here spoken may be
inference of the devil ascribed to
the works of JESUS by the scribe
and pharisees:
You say I do these things by the
devil; you cannot but say the
things I do are good; the fruit
follow the nature of the tree; the
Devil is evil, a corrupt tree, how
can he produce good fruits? you
show yourselves to be corrupt
trees by the fruit you bring out;
you indeed are not lustful and
wicked, but put on a mask and
deception of godliness, but your
fruit show what you are. You
pretend to do good works
If the fruit of tree I produce is
good, why should you not judge
me good? Speak things that are
consistent; if the fruit be good, the
tree must be good; ascertain to me
of any evil things that I do, from
whence you can logically conclude
that I am a corrupt tree
Though it may be fairly supposed
that a man must first be a good
man before he can perform good
works, these are evidence of his
fruits of inward real goodness of
man; which must be understood
not of few single actions, but of
the common, regular series of the
course of life.

LUKE 6:45
|
45)A good man out of the good
treasure of his heart bringeth forth
that which is good; and evil man
out of the evil treasure of his heart
bringeth forth that which is evil; for
of the abundance of the heart his
mouth speaketh
|
GOOD MAN OUT OF GOOD
TREASURE
The heart, the center of our being,
determines our outward behavior
and must be regenerated and
changed, without inward change
no one can do the will of GOD
The good man produce what is
good and honorable and moral out
of good treasure stored in his
heart; and the evil man produces
what is winked and corrupt heart
for his mouth speaks from the out
flow of his heart

MATtHEW 13:23
|
23)But he that received seed into
the good ground is he that heareth
the word, and understandeth it;
which also beareth fruits, and
bringeth forth, some a hundredfold,
some sixty, some thirty
|
BUT HE THAT RECEIVE SEED IN
GOOD GROUND
Those whose hearts are prepared
by grace to receive the word

opportunity to grow in a rich and
ripe soil- in a heart that submits
itself to the full influence of truth,

and grows; and become fruitful ,
BUT HE THAT HEAR THE WORD,
AND UNDERSTAND IT
He that heard the word and
considers it , he understand what
he hears, and makes it the matter
of his serious and frequent
meditation with a honest and good
heart by grace given to him by
GOD and a new spirit put within
him, there he is not like the ground
overrun with thorns, and weeds,
which was dishonest, which also
bears fruits, which is fruit of the
spirit,.
Fruits meet for repentance, faith
in our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and
proper fruit of faith, godliness and
righteousness, holiness and
,goodness in all their branches
That is in various proportions,
some abundantly more than
others the situations and
circumstances in , which some are
placed by the provision of GOD

kingdom of GOD shall be taken from
you, and given to a nation bringeth
forth the fruits thereof

THE KINGDOM TAKEN AWAY
FROM YOU
You shall no longer be GOD’S
peculiar people; your special
privilege shall be taken away from
those , which had been preached
among them by John the Baptist
about CHRIST and His apostle and
things pertaining to it, and show
men both their right and the need
for righteousness in CHRIST and
the other in the regenerating and
sanctifying grace of the Holy spirit,
which the Gospel may be taken
from the people, because of their
opposition to it, indifference about
it, unfruitfulness under it,or
lukewarmness and GOD has no
more souls to gathering by such
place of any people, it in teams of
salvation and eternal life hearing
the Gospel
The Kingdom of GOD is given to
those who respond to the Gospel
whether they are Jew or Gentile,
the kingdom and its power will be
taken away from those who fail to
remain faithful to CHRIST, rejecting
his righteous ways, instead, it will
be given to the people to all
nations of the world who separate
themselves from the world and
seek first the kingdom of GOD and
his righteousness
