GOD'S ENEMIES ARE YOUR ENEMIES!

RECOGNIZING YOUR ENEMIES!

Matthew 7:15-20 - Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  You shall know them by their fruit.  Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.  Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.  Wherefore by their fruit you shall know them.

Luke 3:7-9 - Then said he (John, the baptizer) to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?  Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of (Greek axios meaning "equal in weight"; "which balances the scales"; matches) repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father:  for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.  And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:  every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Galatians 5:19-21 - Now the works of (the evidence of; the fruit of) the flesh (the carnal ones) are manifest (revealed by their fruit), which are these:  adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft (Greek pharmakeia:  drug-use), hatred, variance (arguments), emulations (debates; misguided zeal), wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like:  of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

RECOGNIZING YOUR BRETHREN!

John 13:34-35 - A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you have love one to another.

1 Corinthians 12:3 - Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed:  and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Galatians 5:22-25 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:  against such there is no law.  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

1 John 4:1-3 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:  because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  Hereby you know the Spirit of God:  every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:  and every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:  and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
