[[File:fruitcut.jpg|right]]One of the great lies of [[Modern Christians]] is that there is nothing you have to do to obtain salvation. While it is true we cannot ''earn'' salvation and it will always be a gift if we are not [[Doers of the Word]]] of the word then we do not really have [[faith]].

Real [[Faith]] compels us to action and righteousness because if we [[love]] God and Jesus we will [[Keep the Commandments]]. Our policy in life will be to do what Christ would do because his nature would dwell in us. We know that our faith in the real Jesus is true faith by the fruits of that faith and anyone who tells you differently is not teaching the [[Doctrines of Jesus]].

* [[Matthew 3]]:8  Bring forth therefore '''fruit'''s meet for [[repent]]ance:

* [[Matthew 3]]:10  And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good '''fruit''' is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

* [[Matthew 7]]:16  Ye shall know them by their '''fruit'''s. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

* [[Matthew 13]]:8  But other fell into good ground, and brought forth '''fruit''', some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

* [[Matthew 13]]:23  But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth '''fruit''', and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

* [[Matthew 13]]:26  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth '''fruit''', then appeared the tares also.

* [[Matthew 21]]:19  And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no '''fruit''' grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

* [[Matthew 21]]:34  And when the time of the '''fruit''' drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the '''fruit'''s of it.

* [[Matthew 21]]:41  They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the '''fruit'''s in their seasons.

* [[Matthew 21]]:43  Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the '''fruit'''s thereof.

* [[Matthew 26]]:29  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this '''fruit''' of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

* [[Mark 11]]:13, 14 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].  And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

* [[Mark 12]]:2  And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the '''fruit''' of the vineyard.

* [[Mark 14]]:25  Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the '''fruit''' of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

* [[Luke 1]]:42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the '''fruit''' of thy womb.

* [[Luke 3]]:9  And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good '''fruit''' is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

* [[Luke 6]]:43  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt '''fruit'''; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

* Luke 8:14  And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no '''fruit''' to perfection.

* Luke 12:17  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my '''fruit'''s?
* Luke 12:18  And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my '''fruit'''s and my goods.

* Luke 13:6  He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
