“By steadfast love<\/strong>and faithfulness<\/strong> iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns away<\/strong> from evil.”<\/p>\n

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 36:1\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes.\u00a0<\/strong>For <\/span>he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated<\/strong>.\u00a0The<\/span> words of his mouth<\/strong> are trouble and deceit; <\/span>he has ceased to act wisely and do good.<\/strong>\u00a0He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Proverbs 20:11\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Even a child makes himself known by his acts<\/strong>, by whether his conduct is pure and upright.<\/p>\n

Matthew 7:16\u00a0\u00a0You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?\u00a0\u00a0So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.\u00a0\u00a0A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.\u00a0\u00a0Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.\u00a0\u00a0Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matthew 12:33\u00a0\u00a0\u201cEither make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.\u00a0\u00a0You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Titus 1:16\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works.<\/strong> They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proverbs 8:13\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil.<\/strong> Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.<\/p>\n

Ecclesiastes 12:13\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.<\/p>\n

Romans 3:18\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThere is no fear of God before their eyes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The heart of man is deceitful and full of arrogance and pride. \u00a0We can know this and always be on guard for when it wants to raise its ugly head. Or, we can say it is not there and never be looking. \u00a0How sad is it when we choose to deny there is any thing wrong with our thoughts, intents, words and actions? \u00a0Out of the abundance of our heart our mouth speaks. \u00a0It is also true that what fills our mind and thoughts feeds our heart. \u00a0How is a person to recognize right and wrong thoughts, intents, speech, and actions? \u00a0A live time could be spend on what it means to Love, and the same for Joy, or Peace, or Patience, or Kindness, or Goodness, or Faithfulness. The only way to understand our own heart is to examine it in light of scripture and seek God to reveal that which is opposing to living, acting, speaking in such a way that humbly serves, honors and obeys Him. \u00a0Filling our mind with His word on a daily basis will start this never ending \u00a0growth in our service to Him. \u00a0Rejecting or putting off time with His word allows our heart to become complacent and hard. \u00a0We are unable to grow, unable to display fruits of His indwelling in our lives, unable to serve Him, \u00a0and unable to honor and glorify Him. \u00a0Our actions, thoughts and words are a direct reflection of our walk with God. \u00a0David wanting to humbly serve, honor and obey God put it this way. “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!\u00a0And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” \u00a0You know you are on the right path when your prayer is in line with this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
