Today's reading: Matthew 7:15-29; Psalm 9:1-12; Proverbs 2:16-22.
Ever wonder if you are really a Christian? Jesus gives us the answer here - look at what you do. Does your life produce good fruit? Are you firmly founded on the foundation of Jesus Christ? Are you living with your heart, relying on God - or are you just giving Him lip service? Ask yourself: are you talking the talk or really walking the walk?
Christians have a relationship with Jesus - they know Him & He knows them. This relationship produces a lifestyle that lines up with the Scriptures. Does this mean Christians are perfect? Nope. We still mess up, we still do things wrong - but WHO do we fall back on?
Psalm 9 complements Matthew 7 well - It's written by a true believer. A man who loves the Lord with everything he has and he tells everyone about how wonderful God is. In times of trouble, he falls back on the Lord. This is a man that produces good fruit - his name is David and his story his found in 1 & 2 Samuel.
