By their fruit..

The Savior warned his people to beware of false prophets and teachers - "by their fruits ye shall know them." True followers of Christ have always been known by their works or actions. We have been told we cannot be saved by our works alone, but if someone truely has accepted the Savior as their redeemer wouldn't their actions and works emulate His? The Savior instructed us to bring forth fruit meet of repentance. He talks about his vineyard, the harvest and the first fruits of the spirit. Paul to the Philippians stated; "Being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ." Indeed we should be able to tell where a person's heart is or whom is their master and friend by their fruits or actions. True followers of Christ are trying to be like him, their desires are to have his spirit to always be with them and to have the love and charity that He possesses. The Savior never put his own desires or wants above his Fathers, he was about his fathers business - the immortality and eternal welfare of Gods children. These type of traits are common among inividuals that have put Him first in their lives. His greatest trait is the love he has for each of us, love or charity. These are more than just suggestions! Glaciations 6:2 it reads; "Bear ye one anothers burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." Its a commandment, and also a part of a covenant or promise with God. Alma at the Waters of Mormon told those seekers of righteousness; "Behold here are the waters of Mormon and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and be called his people, and are willing to bear one another burdens, that they may be light. Yea and are willing too mourn with those that mourn, yea and comfort those that stand in need comfort. and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, an in all places that ye may be in even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God and numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life. Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your heart, what have ye against being baptized in the name of the Lord as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his spirit more abundantly unto you?" These are the covenants and promises that each of us make and the rewards that Lord has promised if we fulfill our part of the agreement.
