Fruits

"You will know them by their fruits."

Matthew 7.16

You know the tree by its fruits. But the foolish one doesn't wait on time to see the fruits, decides regardless of them. The result is old plain frustration.

Oh...

“Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!" 

Psalm 81.13


When the Lord exclaims: 'Oh, that My people would listen to Me...'You can see His great desire to attend to His people's urgent needs. Isn't that the same feeling parents have regarding their children?

One needs to hear and obey His Word.

Fear

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

1 John 4: 18

Those who know God live by faith, they have assurance that His eyes are upon their lives, there's no fear, for they feel secured in God's love.

Firmness

"Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away." Hebrews 2: 1

Be firm in the Word of God is to absorb the divine thoughts and practice them. For this reason, the result is quality of life. But if there's a detour of these principles, the result is disastrous.

Preparation

"...and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace."

Ephesians 6: 15

If our decisions and desires are not according to God's will, we'll certainly enter in a deep and dark pit, nearing death.

Trees

"And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

Matthew 3:10

God knows the intention of the heart of those who serve Him. If it's good or bad, time will tell. It is however impossible to pretend to serve Him. Soon, very soon it is detached from His Body.

The End

"But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers."

1 Peter 4: 7


The trumpets of the end of times are making their sounds. Only those born of God can hear them. Those who are wise take care not to fall asleep in the eternal death.
