Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
AN UNBELIEVER CAN GIVE HIS NEIGHBOR A LOAF OF BREAD AND CAN SPONSOR CHARITIES WHICH REALLY HELP LITTLE CHILDREN IN AFRICA. THIS IS NOT THE FRUIT CHRIST IS REFERRING TO. IF THIS WERE THE FRUIT THEN HITLER AND BIN LADEN WOULD BE SAVED SINCE BOTH OF THEM DID SOME GOOD OR CHARITABLE WORK.
Adolf Hitler was so opposed to smoking in his later life that he couldn’t stand someone lighting up in the same room, and often felt obligated to object to it as a waste of money. He began one of the most effective tobacco movements throughout history. Nazi Germany even claimed that smoking heightened the risks of miscarriages by pregnant women, now a commonly known fact.
Nazi Germany had one of the largest public welfare programs in history. One of the most famous was the Winter Relief program, where high ranking Nazis and common citizens both took to the streets to collect charity for the unfortunate. This was not only an extremely intelligent propaganda move, but also a ritual to generate general good public feeling toward those in need.
THE PRIMARY FRUIT THAT CHRIST IS SPEAKING ABOUT IS OBEDIENCE THAT’S MOTIVATED BY LOVE, TO ALL OF GOD’S COMMANDS THROUGH THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; THIS CONSEQUENTLY PRODUCES GENUINE GOOD WORKS OF LOVE.
15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
