Conduct

“Conduct”
Blessings folk!
One can say what they want, but deeds reflect the true heart…
Pro 20:11
Even a child makes himself known by his acts,
by whether his conduct is pure and upright.
ESV
Pro 20:11
Even children are known by the way they act,
whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right.
NLT
Actions are reality.
Words?
Well, they may prove to be reality or not.
We see it constantly.
Just think of the political arena.
Many are the exalted words.
Few are the exalted deeds.
The same among the religious.
Remember the words of Jesus…
Mat 7:15-20
“Beware of false prophets,
who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
You will recognize them by their fruits.
Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
What is revealed by your conduct?
Purity?
Uprightness?
Fruit of the Spirit?
Or, deeds of the flesh?
