Recognize and know people, not by their words nor talk, but by their fruit.
Revelation Knowledge:
Do not think that you know who a person is just from their own description of who they are. Do not be deceived, because actions speak better and louder than words. The Lord Jesus Christ gave us the key truly know who a person is— we must know them by their fruits. He said, “By their fruit you will recognize them.” Friends, it’s not just a matter of talking, or by their words, but it’s all about fruits—character, attitude, behavior etc.
Main scripture:
Matthew 7(BSB) 15Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.…
