Fruit Inspection

Written by Joyce C. Lock

Continued from page 1

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matthew 7:20

It isn't by our inspection that we shall know them.

It is by their fruit that we shall "know" them.

But repparttar fruit of repparttar 126424 Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified repparttar 126425 flesh with repparttar 126426 affections and lusts. If we live in repparttar 126427 Spirit, let us also walk in repparttar 126428 Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 5:22-26
