HOW WILL YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE TRULY SERVANTS, FOLLOWERS AND DISCIPLES OF JESUS ? : Controversial Topic 19

HOW WILL YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE TRULY SERVANTS, FOLLOWERS AND DISCIPLES OF JESUS ?

Many of them claiming that they are disciples of Christ, almost all Christians are, but let us focus only on Christianity on who among those Christian Religions are indeed Christ Servants and Disciples ?

IT IS WRITTEN AND JESUS HIMSELF GAVE US THE CLUE AND EXAMPLE TO KNOW WHO REALLY THEY ARE :

Matthew 7: 20  King James Version (KJV)

²⁰ Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

By their fruits you shall know them if they are the True Disciples.

HOW WILL I KNOW THAT THEY ARE THE TRUE BRANCHES OF THE VINE THAT BEAR FRUITS ?

WHO ARE THESE BRANCHES AND WHO ALSO IS THE VINE ?

THE VINE IS JESUS AND THE BRANCHES ARE HIS SERVANTS :

Parable of the seeds is also related to this topic, because trees started from planting seeds before anything else and this will be a very long topic to discuss if we will start from the soil to cultivate then seeds follows to plant, then wait for the trees to bear fruits, Ha ha ! Let us go straight to the fruits and not begin to the seeds :

John 15:1-5  King James Version (KJV)

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

² Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

³ Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

IN VERSE 3 CLEANSING FIRST BEFORE BEARING GOOD FRUITS :

 “ Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you ”

BRANCHES OF THE VINE OR AS JESUS THE VINE AND WE ARE THE BRANCHES, ONLY THOSE CLEAN SERVANTS SHALL BEAR MANY FRUITS :

WHAT KIND OF FRUITS ?  GOOD FRUITS ! :

Matthew 7:16-17  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

¹⁷ Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

HOW THIS BRANCHES BEAR GOOD FRUITS ?

Matthew 3: 8  King James Version (KJV)

⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

NEED TO MEET FIRST REPENTANCE AS IT IS WRITTEN :

2 Corinthians 9:10  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁰ Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

Philippians 1:11  King James Version (KJV) 

¹¹ Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

THE FRUITS THAT THE LORD WANTS TO SEE IN US AS HIS BRANCHES IS THE FRUITS OF OUR REPENTANCE TO BE FILLED BY THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS :

WHAT KIND OF FRUIT IS THE FRUITS RIGHTEOUSNESS ?

THESE DIFFERENTIATES THE EVIL FRUITS AND THE GOOD FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS :

Galatians 5:19-23  New International Version (NIV)

¹⁹ The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ²⁰ idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹ and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

THE BRANCHES WHO BEAR GOOD FRUITS FROM THE VINE MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO TURN THEIR BACK FROM THE ACTS OF FLESH, FROM EVIL WORKS, FROM WRONG DOINGS, AND BECAME NEW MAN AS NEW CREATION :

2 Corinthians 5:17  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

1 Peter 1: 23  King James Version (KJV)

²³ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

FOR IF A MAN NOT TO BE BORN AGAIN HE WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD BUT DOOMED TO HELL :

John 3:1-7 King James Version (KJV)

3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

² The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

1 Thessalonians 2:13  King James Version (KJV)

¹³ For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

WHERE ELSE THAT THE LORD JESUS WANTS US TO BE FRUITFUL ?

JESUS AS THE VINE AND WE ARE THE BRANCHES, JESUS GAVE US ALSO AN EXAMPLE TO BE FRUITFUL IN GOOD WORKS, AND WHAT TO DO AS HIS SERVANTS :

  

Colossians 1: 10  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁰ That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

JESUS GAVE US AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD WORKS HE IS DOING :

John 13: 15  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

John 14: 12  King James Version (KJV)

¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Proverbs 1:20  Amplified Bible (AMP)

Wisdom Warns :

²⁰ 
Wisdom shouts in the street,
She raises her voice in the markets;

WHO IS THIS WISDOM WHO SHOUTS IN THE STREETS AND RAISES VOICE IN THE MARKET ?

1 Corinthians 1:24 Amplified Bible (AMP)

²⁴ but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles), Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

IT IS CHRIST JESUS WHO SHOUTS IN THE STREETS AND RAISES VOICE IN THE MARKET PLACES :

AS PROOF THAT IT IS JESUS :

Matthew 22: 10  Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹⁰ Those servants went out into the streets and gathered together all the people they could find, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests [sitting at the banquet table].

Matthew 12: 18-19  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁸ Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

¹⁹ He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

Luke 14: 21  Amplified Bible (AMP)

²¹ So the servant came back and reported this to his master. Then [his master,] the head of the household, became angry [at the rejections of his invitation] and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and the lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and the disabled and the blind and the lame.’

Luke 13: 25-27  King James Version (KJV)

²⁵ When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

²⁶ Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

²⁷ But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

Matthew 20: 3-4  King James Version (KJV)

³ And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

⁴ And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

VERY CLEAR THAT JESUS WENT TO THE STREETS AND MARKETPLACES AS THE WISDOM OF GOD SHARING EVANGELIZING THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

JESUS SAID THAT THE WORKS HE DID BEFORE, GREATER WORKS THAT HIS SERVANTS CAN DO NOWADAYS THAN HE HAS DONE BEFORE :

John 14: 12  King James Version (KJV)

¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

I WILL JUST REPEAT THESE TRUTH WRITTEN AS PROOF WHICH I ALREADY PUBLISHED TO MY BLOGGER ENTITLED: TRUE CHRISTIANS FILLED BY HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD ( English version ) : Controversial Topic 9 :

Acts 4:31 King James Version (KJV)

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Acts 8: 4  King James Version (KJV)

4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

2 Timothy 4:2 King James Version (KJV)

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

Something that this is a kind of doctrine ?

Yes !  What I am sharing you is a doctrine that others don't have.

Can you find preachers with boldness that can speak the Word of God boldly, who scattered everywhere preaching the Word of God in season and out of season ? As what is written ?

Preaching the Word of God in Public Places, like Streets ( Highways ), Market ( Market Places ), even at Passengers Ships or Boats, Airplane, Airport Departures and Arrivals as what I've seen and observed.

Not commonly in Plazas, House to House, Television and Radio and Television Networks, Streaming, that others only can do.

Many times that they tried to stop them to preach the gospel in public places with threat but still, they reason out that it is the Lord Jesus that they will obey and not a man nor any man can stop them, even a complaint filed to them at Barangay and Police Station, even at Congress, Christians defend them, they fought and won God's righteousness.

Acts 4: 29  King James Version (KJV)

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word.

AS WHAT THE LORD JESUS SAID, THAT BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM IF THEY ARE OF GOD, SAME AS HOW JESUS PREACH THE WORD OF GOD ALSO HIS SERVANTS MUST DO :

John 13: 15  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Mark 8: 38  King James Version (KJV)

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Matthew 7: 20  King James Version (KJV)

²⁰ Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

By their fruits you shall know them if they are the True Disciples of Jesus.

GLORY BE TO OUR GOD FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN !
