Real Fruit of the Church

This sermon examines Matthew 7 to distinguish between genuine faith and false assurance, emphasizing that salvation is received solely through God's grace rather than human works. The preacher warns against the danger of relying on religious activities or moral achievements for justification, arguing that true righteousness comes only from trusting in Christ alone. By analyzing the narrow gate and the fruit of the Spirit, the message clarifies that good works are the result of faith, not the basis for it. The tone is both convicting and comforting, urging listeners to abandon self-righteousness and rest completely in the finished work of Jesus. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life of humble dependence on the Holy Spirit to produce authentic spiritual fruit.
