The Word of God says in Matthew 7:17, “Even so every good tree (every person) bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.” A Godly Christian person will do everything within himself to do good to everyone, this is the sheep nature or that Godly Christian like nature. The Word Test goes on by saying in Matthew 7:20, “Where-fore by their fruits (or by what they show or project) ye shall know them.” Read on down and see in 7:21-23 that not everyone that calls themselves a Christian (self proclaimed) is really what they say that they are. So The “Word” Test goes on.

The Bible says in Matthew 5:44, “But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you.”

Now look closely at the scriptures, it doesn’t say love your family or brothers and sisters in the Lord. It says love your enemies, and bless them that curse you, the next sentence is the most forgotten part of the verse, “…do good to them that hate you. Notice, “DO GOOD to them.” In today’s very religious world, our self proclaimed Christians have trouble even loving those who sit in the pew next to them. Sadly the self proclaimed Christians are those who will say how much they love you, or how much of a Godly man or woman you are, then in the next breath by their words try to destroy you. The words we speak will tell what we are. That is a frightening statement to our self proclaimed Christians. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:29, “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is good to the use of edifying; that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” What do people hear out of your mouth???

Look at Ephesians 4:32, “and be ye kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” What if God was like some of us, and held unforgiveness? I have seen folks who are self proclaimed Christians not only hold unforgiveness, but sometimes speak evil things that the worst sinner wouldn’t speak.

Can you see how this Word Test applies to us all? Some folks actions speak so loud, you can’t hear a word that they are saying. Look at the Bible in 2 Corinthians 3:2, “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men.” Friends we are being watched. What Do People See In You?

Ecclesiastes 12:14 says, “For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” What kind of works will be brought into judgement in your life, good or evil? Psalms 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” It’s what’s within you that counts. Jesus didn’t just say love one another, He commanded for us to love one another. Look at what Jesus said in Johns gospel 15:12 “…This commandment… that ye love one another, as I have loved you.” Look at verse 14 “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you”. and once again in John 15:17 He commands again, “These things I command you that ye love one another”. The Word Test is very clear. Let us look again to the word in Romans 12:10 “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love. In honor preferring one another.” God first, others second, and your self last. How many of us can say that we do this???
