The mark of a True Christian
Galatians 5:22-23New International Version (NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
A true christian and a false one are easy to see if you watch them over a period of time. They will show the fruits of the spirit. They will act Christ like. Beware of those who do not show the fruits of the spirit. Beware of being one of them as well as The bible has many verses warning against those who do not show those fruits. I realize that we are all human and we make mistakes but you have to look at the over all picture. The fruits of those who are not true christians will be easy to see.
Matthew 7
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
1 Samuel 24:13 As the old saying goes, 'From evildoers come evil deeds,' so my hand will not touch you. Proverbs 20:11 Even small children are known by their actions, so is their conduct really pure and upright? Matthew 7:20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Matthew 12:33 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. Luke 6:43 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Luke 6:44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.
