마태복음 7:15-20 : You Will Be Known By Your Fruit!

Study

15 거짓 선지자들을 삼가라 양의 옷을 입고 너희에게 나아오나 속에는 노략질하는 이리라

16 그의 열매로 그들을 알지니 가시나무에서 포도를 또는 엉겅퀴에서 무화과를 따겠느냐 ?

17 이와 같이 좋은 나무마다 아름다운 열매를 맺고 못된 나무가 나쁜 열매를 맺나니

18 좋은 나무가 나쁜 열매를 맺을 수 없고 못된 나무가 아름다운 열매를 맺을 수 없느니라

19 아름다운 열매를 맺지 아니하는 나무마다 찍혀 불에 던지우느니라

20 이러므로 그의 열매로 그들을 알리라

A Tree Shall be Known by its Fruit

Sometimes a single action can express a message more strongly than a thousand well thought out words. The message of Jesus is powerful, not just because of its rationality and logic, but because it was manifested by Jesus in loving actions. What is in our heart and mind only becomes complete and real in an action. Yet, there is so much more to learn in "Thus you will know them by their fruits." (Matthew 7:20)
