[QUOTE="Sabertooth, post: 74536666, member: 118925"] Salvation is just the beginning. God loves you right where you are, but He loves you too much to leave you there. He uses the rest of those words, and more, to move you forward, as long as you let Him. “[COLOR=#ff0000]Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? [B]Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor [I]can[/I] a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.[/B] Therefore by their fruits you will know them.[/COLOR]" Jesus, Matthew 7:15-20 NKJV Jesus was talking about false prophets, but it is true for all Christians. You need to [U][I]BE[/I][/U] (let Him make you into) a good tree, first. Then bearing good fruit will happen naturally. You won't have to maintain a "Good Works" to-do list. If you won't let Him change you on the inside, there will be/can be no worthwhile changes on the outside. [/QUOTE]
