Matthew 7:16 (NLT)
You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from
thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Matthew 7:21–23 (NLT)
Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only
those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will
say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and
performed many miracles in your name.' But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from
me, you who break God’s laws.'
Galatians 5:22–23 (NLT)
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these
things!
Mark 11:13–14 (NLT)
He noticed a fig tree in full leaf a little way off, so he went over to see if he could find any
figs. But there were only leaves because it was too early in the season for fruit. Then Jesus
said to the tree, 'May no one ever eat your fruit again!' And the disciples heard him say it.
John 15:8 (NLT)
When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my
Father.
Matthew 5:16 (NLT)
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise
your heavenly Father.
2 Corinthians 13:5 (NLT)
Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that
Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.
John 15:2 (NLT)
He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that
do bear fruit so they will produce even more.
John 15:5 (NLT)
Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will
produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
