New Testament Bible Meditation- January 13 - Text & Audio

Matthew 7:15-29 

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'
Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.
The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell and great was its fall." It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

Insight- Every tree is known by it's fruits. We must be able to discern who are true and false prophets. This can be done by watching what kind of fruit they are bearing. Only those who do the will of the Father in heaven will enter the kingdom of heaven. Believers in Jesus Christ must be wise builders by hearing and obeying God's Word.

Question- Are you doing the will of the Father in heaven? Are you a wise builder?

Prayer- Dear Father in heaven, grant me grace to do your will by hearing and obeying your Word. Grant me discernment while I build my spiritual life. In Jesus name. Amen.
