A Tree is known by its fruit

A tree is known by its fruit (Luke 6:43-45) . Forgiveness is the fruit (Luke 23:34) . Love is the tree (1 John 4:7-8) . He is the first tree to bear fruit in the garden of the new Eden (John 12:24) . On the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection, he forgave us for the evil that we did to him. Ground zero of a proper understanding of God is the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. He planted the seeds of forgiveness into the hearts of the children of Adam and Eve (Jeremiah 17:8) . The seeds of forgiveness turn into trees of love (Matthew 13:8) so that, in the garden of the new Eden, many can enjoy the fruits of love (Matthew 13:31-32) . From him, the garden is encroaching into the Valley of Tears. And the Church is cultivating it.

The Power to Do Good or to do Evil to our Neighbor

“That the Son of God did the Crucifixion tells us in no uncertain terms that there is nothing He won’t do for us. Nothing. He did the Crucifixion for sinners. Think what He is willing to do for saints!”

We are equipped with the power to do good or to do evil to our neighbor. When we know that God has our back, that is, when in God we trust, we can afford to do good to our neighbors. When we doubt, how difficult it is. Good works are the manifestation of our trust in God. The absence of good works reveals an absence of faith. The tree is known by its fruit. The fruit of good works makes known the tree of trust in God.
