Our fruit reveals what "kind" of tree we are.

Genesis 1:11-12,25

11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.


"After his kind..." 

I think how the tree made seed after it's kind, and grass etc, Pecan trees make Pecan trees, apple trees make apple trees, Cats make cats, not dogs, etc., then I think about the fruit in our lives, oh how it comes after it's kind! If the fruit in our lives is bad, it is merely because it is after it's own kind (the source of it, ourselves, our hearts), if it is good, it comes from it's good source, Christ in you (John 15:4). What "kind" of fruit is coming from you, it's origin? What do you see coming out of your life and the results? Do you have the fruit of the spirit? You should if His spirit is in you, it only makes sense. If you don't have the Spirit, you won't have the fruit of it. Go through it's list (Galatians 5:22-23), and examine yourself (2 Corinthians 13:5) to see if you are really Christ's since you would possess His "kind" of traits as His child.:The fruit in your life will determine the nature of what source it is coming from (Mathew 7:17-20:).

"Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."
