Preach It!
Listen to John’s powerful preaching to the religious leaders:
“You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not think you can way to yourselves , ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children fro Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” ~Matthew 3:7-10
These words are living…Beware. God DID raise up children for Abraham from out of the Gentiles! It is called the Church. Yet still today, preacher and teacher cannot rest in any heritage for “Ye must produce fruit in keeping with repentance!” There is no sugar coating for the Gospel...every tree that fails to produce or brings forth the bad fruit of false teaching is to be declared "cut down and thrown into the fire." Here's my thinking: I will cling to the Word of Almighty God. If I try to make it up as I go, picking and choosing what I will teach, I risk being wrong! Pure folly.
