Walk Not According To The World

View All Lessons

When answering a question about who would be saved, Jesus related what would happen to some of those that confessed him with the mouth: “I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity” (Luke 13:27). Why were there some that were told to depart, even though they made a confession of Jesus Christ? It was because their walk in life was contrary to their confession. In another place, Jesus stated that a tree is known by its fruits—“For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes” (Luke 6:44). The second half of Leviticus deals largely about the fruits that should be in the life of a believer.
