Fruit of Repentance

What Does Fruit From the Tree of Knowledge Look Like?

Satan deceived Eve and Adam into exchanging the truth for a lie

Rejecting the Tree of Life, the soul and spirit of God

For the Tree of Good and Evil, the soul and spirit of the Devil

Until a person repents of their knowledge of good and evil

As the way of life, their fruit will bring suffering and death

But if a person repents, changes their mind and

Determines to eat the Fruit of Truth, they will find life

Life, because they will discover the soul and spirit of God, their Creator 

 

 

 What Does Fruit From the Tree of Knowledge Look Like?

 

The foundation, the core of the Tree of Life is Truth.

 

Truth blooms and each flower produces wonderful fruit.

 

This Tree is the very image of the soul and spirit of God.

 

Romans 1 tells us these invisible qualities of God,

His divine nature are clear to see.

 

Truth and its Fruit are so clear to

understand that man is without excuse.

 

These Fruits and qualities of God are visible in every

part of the world and at any time in history.

 

You don’t need to know God to

know there is a true right and a wrong…

 

 It is common sense.

 

The problem is people have claimed to be wise.

 

They have exchanged the Truth of God for a lie…

 Romans 1:25

 

Where we call good bad and bad good.

 

People do not see it is worthwhile to retain the Knowledge

of God and His invisible qualities birthed out of Truth.

 

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good

and Evil is fathered by the Devil.

 

As God has fathered the Tree of Life…

 

Satan has fathered the Tree of Knowledge.

 

Jesus points out the difference

in the two fathers in John 8:42-47…

 

Jesus makes a clear description and separation between the two fathers

He was a murderer from the beginning,

not holding to the truth,

for there is no truth in him.

When he lies, he speaks his native language,

for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!

Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?

If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?

He who belongs to God hears what God says.

The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

John 8:44-47

 

The native language of the devil is lies,

a deceptive flower giving birth to evil fruit.

 

Jesus challenges the followers of lies to prove the Truth

(His words and actions) is guilty of wrong.

 

Romans 1 concludes with the fruit

of exchanging the truth for a lie.

 

When we don’t think it is worthwhile to

retain the Knowledge of God and give our minds

over to our own interpretation of good and evil.

 

The fruit is all kinds of wickedness, evil, greed, depravity.

 

You have seen it in your neighborhood,

maybe in your own home, or life…

 

Murder, envy, deceit, malice, gossip,

slander, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, boastful,

shameless, faithless, heartless, ruthless;

 those who do not do these things

approve of their practice.

 

Common sense tells you these fruits

don’t taste good, yet we still do them.

 

Satan deceived Eve and Adam

into exchanging the truth for a lie.

 

Rejecting the Tree of Life,

the soul and spirit of God

for the Tree of Good and Evil,

the soul and spirit of the Devil.

 

 

Until a person repents of their knowledge

of good and evil as the way of life…

 

 Their fruit will bring suffering and death.

 

But if a person repents, changes their mind and

determines to eat the Fruit of Truth…

 

 They will find life.

 

Life, because they will discover

the soul and spirit of God, their Creator.  

 

 

Scripture Reading

 

John 8:43-47 NIV

 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." 

 

Ephesians 4:20-24 NIV

20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
