You can tell alot, by what it looks like...Fruity!!

The Bible says, "You shall know them, by...their fruits..."  You can tell alot by fruit, what kind of a tree it came from, whether its good or bad?  And all that, by just looking at the fruit.  In our Christian walk, you can also inspect alot of details, just by our fruits, we bring forth.  Are we bearing forth life, or death?  Are we showing that, of good, or evil?  Some folks say, as soon as you say, anything about lifestyles, that you are being, so called, "judgmental".  But, there is a big difference, between judging someone and just calling an orange the orange that it is!  (If ya know what I mean!)  A Christian, the Bible also says, is a new Creature in Christ, old things are supposed to have passed away, and according to 2 Corinthians 5:17 ALL THINGS are become new!  Our walk, talk, behaviors, friends....It may not happen all overnight, but the process is there, and in the making.  The sad thing, is when it's not...in the making.  When people succumb to just "being" who they always were, or are.  They make excuses and think God will too, for their life long behaviors!  (And that is so not true!)  I can't get enough of Christ in my life, as a Christian.  I don't want to be a poor example of Christ.  I don't want to be a fake.  I want to be...who I should be!  I want to be real, not a lie.  If I say, I'm a Christian, I don't want to live like one on a Sunday.  Or just go around saying, I'll pray for you, and thinking that makes me a Christian.  (If that were true, I'd be a car if I stayed in a garage overnight!!)  I know many who think, that one repetition of the Sinners prayer, some years ago at an alter, has forever bought their pathway in to the pearly gates, but its just not so.  There has to be a change, in an individuals life!  The Bible plainly declares so!  You can tell, what it is, by what it looks like...Is it an apple?  Well, how do you know that?  Because it looks like an apple...It tastes like...an apple...It is no different for knowing, what or who belongs to the Lord!  Heaven help us all...to live real!  To not be a bunch of fake fruits!  To let our lights so shine, so that this lost and dying world....can see the DIFFERENCE IN OUR LIVES!! Not the same nes,  For Heavens sake!  You can tell alot, by just what it looks and talks like...What it really is!!  I'm not saved, because I prayed some old dead prayer some years ago at an alter, and now live my life like I want to drinking, smoking, cussing and what ever I so called want to do.  No!  I'm saved, because My life is changed...am I perfect, NO!  Adamantly no!  But I'm on the path, I'm not making excuses to stay...I'm trying to change...more in to the image of Christ!!  What kind of fruit...is your life showing?? Are you real??  All things are made new...in Christ!! Be blessed.

..I'm hungry for an apple now!!   :)
