Figs from Thistles?

Put the pedal to the metal, actions speak louder than words.

Of course it’s simple to talk the talk but go a step further and include the walk. Don’t be like a tree with no leaves or fruit, it would be full of empty branches and cut down due to its worthlessness. As James 2:14 says, “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?” Saying you know God without actions would be like someone who just cut their finger, and after finding bandaids they never put one on. Even though the bandaids are in visual distance they are too preoccupied by something else and they simply do nothing. When a person becomes saved they are encouraged to carry out the deeds of the Holy Spirit, not only in words alone but also in action.

“By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles...A good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad 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.” Matthew 7:16-17,19-20
