A True Follower Shows Fruit

"Are you a true follower of Christ? It is not enough to just say you believe in Jesus. If you believe in Jesus, then you believe enough to do what he commanded: his first and principal command throughout his ministry being, "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is near;" and the evidence of repentance is to bring forth fruit. Mat 3:8

When George Fox was approached by people pleading that they were saved because they believed in Jesus, his response was: where is the evidence of your belief?

Jesus himself said: The evidence of belief of a true follower is to produce much fruit, John 15:8, The fruit of the Spirit is love, peace, joy, self-control, kindness, faith, goodness, and gentleness.

This involves ridding yourself of the sinful nature which includes sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; greed, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. (Gal 5:24)."
