By It's Fruit

   So you are at a tour of an apple farm in South Carolina. Yes, let us take another adventure, shall we. You arrive on the farm very anxious to take pictures and learn new things about apples, their products, and where they are farmed.
   The first stop that you make is an average apple tree. You look at the tree and the tree itself seems pretty normal, however you notice one major thing that you may not even pay close attention to, but take it for granted. The apple tree that you are gazing at does not grow oranges! That tree also does not grow peaches or pears!
   You could tell what kind of tree it was by the fruit that it produced. Guess what, the same applies to us believers in Jesus Christ! The fruit that we produce shows who we belong to, follow, and believe in.
   I am not saying that our worlds save us, for that is not true, we are saved only because Christ died on a cross for our sins, however, if we have been saved, then our fruits will surely show it. That goes for everything that we do. In our friendships, relationships, giving, encouraging, conversations, athletics, time management, Christ will be shown in all of these fruits because we produce after Him. So tell me, what tree does your fruits suggest?
