Title: Find the Fruit of the Righteous
Contents Hymn 242 “The true foundation of the church” ㆍ244 “The Lord who rules the heavens and the earth”
Saints who love the life of the righteous and their fruits! What would you like to start over to reach true conclusions? Just as a scale cannot deceive the scale, so the righteous are conscious of God's gaze. Proverbs 11 records the kind of fruit that will be opened to the righteous. The fruit of the righteous cannot be a deceptive scale and cannot be the income of the wicked. Solomon's proverbs teach fairness, humility, honesty, impartiality, hope, triumph, and true counsel. Just as his words are virtuous, so the life of the righteous is like a virtuous woman (Proverbs 11:16).
First, the fruit of the righteous feeds on humble integrity (Proverbs 11:1-12).
An honest person is not conceited or possessed by a sense of superiority. Just as pride comes with disgrace, so when humility comes sincerity. His sincerity guides his life and he loves a life of loyalty that has nothing to do with wealth. He is not suited to fellowship with the wicked, nor does he entrust his affairs to him.
He gives hope and his prosperity is followed by the cooperation of a loving neighbor. And the city is promoted because of the blessing of the honest. His sincerity and personal influence silence the blasphemous words of his special neighbor (Proverbs 11:12).
Second, the fruit of the righteous is like the tree of life (Proverbs 11:13-31).
The tree of life is wisdom that saves people's lives. But the gossiping and divulging person is an insecticide that kills others. He has no plot to save lives. Only the righteous devise schemes and strive for the peace of the people. He bears the ransom loss against another's mortgage. Therefore, his virtuousness warms the family and neighbors, and his diligence defeats poverty. Therefore, the seed sown is a sure reward, and his alms will receive abundant grace. Salvation is the fruit of one who produces abundance and nourishes others (Proverbs 11:24-25).
Dear saint! There is no fruit in the sagebrush. He is a hard worker who only believes in Jesus, and there is no fruit of grace. Giving out the gospel freely will enrich the lives of others. There is the Lord's work to put the will of the righteous on God and start anew for a life of green leaves. Therefore, let's search for the Lord's work with our whole heart today. -Amen-
Our Lord Jesus Christ! Better than the first (Rev 2:19), help me to build a foundation for co-working and make a plan!
