Luke 3:1-22
John issued a command and a dire warning to the crowds gathering around.
Bear fruits in keeping with repentance (v 8 ).
{There should be outward evidence of inward change. When Jesus is teaching on false prophets in Matthew 7:15-20, he tells the people that they will recognize them by their fruit.}
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire (v 9).
The crowd responded with, “What then shall we do?”
👉 John’s response?
Be generous (v 11).
Be honest (v 12-13).
Be content (v 14).
Such fruit does not result in salvation but should be the result of salvation. May we be known as people who are generous, honest, and content.
You are loved.
