God is looking for good fruit, not religious nuts.

I took the above statement from our pastor’s sermon Sunday. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

As a Christian, we should be busy daily, telling others about Jesus. We can’t do this on our own intuition or drive, it has to come from the Holy Spirit.

God’s not looking for people that have a seminary degree or someone who’s read the Bible through 50 times. He’s looking for someone with good fruit, meaning, someone who loves God, has a relationship with Him and who goes about telling others this good news.

I recently went hiking and someone had an app that would track our hike and guide us along the way. It would also show us when we were off the trail.

No, there’s no app that’s going to tell us when we’re not producing good fruit; God will reveal this to us when we’re not doing what we should be doing.

Colossians 1:10 - “So as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;”

We are to be as a fruit tree, bearing fruit. And just as it is with a fruit tree, if it doesn’t produce fruit, then you have to cut it down and throw it into the fire.

God desires the fruits of good works and service to others.

Stop trying to push religion down people’s throats. Show your good fruit in loving others and sharing the gospel.
