YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS********THIS POWERFUL WORD

LOOK AT THE FRUIT!

By their fruit you will recognize them. Matthew 7:16

TODAY'S INSIGHT

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1 (MATTHEW 7:15-20)

Discerning who’s who when it comes to “false teachers” is a far cry from television game show antics, but it can be equally as challenging and is infinitely more important. The “ferocious wolves” often come to us in “sheep’s clothing,” and Jesus warns even the wise among us to “watch out” (Matthew 7:15). The best test is not so much good questions, but good eyes. Look at their fruit, for that’s how you’ll recognize them (vv. 16–20).

Scripture gives us assistance in seeing good and bad fruit. The good looks like “love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Galatians 5:22–23). We’ve got to pay close attention, for wolves play by deception. But as believers, who are filled with the Spirit, we serve the real Good Shepherd, “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

Reflect & Pray

When have you met a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Apply the “look for the fruit” test to that experience and now what do you see? Great Shepherd, give me eyes and ears to look and listen for good fruit.
