By Their Fruits You Will Know Them

Based on Matthew 7:16

We are living in a critical moment in this great nation. Beyond political parties, this time will reveal something undeniable: the legacy of every person who represents us. What fruits are they bearing? What impact are they making? Matthew 7:16 reminds us of a powerful truth: “By their fruits you will know them.” It’s not about speeches or empty promises. It’s about actions, about real fruit that transforms lives.

Now more than ever, we need an active faith—one that is lived out through commitment, responsibility, and love for our neighbor. Words alone are fleeting, but actions leave a mark. The fruit of our decisions creates the legacy that defines not just our personal history, but the future of our communities.

So I ask you:

Which side of history do you want to be on?

How do you want to be remembered?

You were not created to be a spectator. You were called to be a light, to make a difference, to speak up for justice and truth. This is not the time to bury the talent God has given you. It’s time to uncover it, use it, and multiply it for the good of others.

Today, I invite you to act with faith and values. To engage with your community. To build a legacy that honors God and transforms lives.

Because fruit doesn’t lie. And the world needs to see in us the fruit of love, justice, hope, and truth.
