If a Christian were a tree, what should it look like?
(Jer. 17:7-8)
If a Christian were a tree, what should it look like?
- It would have roots that grow downward. Roots help with strength and stability. Roots also bring nutrients to the tree. Deeply rooted in the Scriptures the Christian can stand strong.
- It would be healthy inward. A tree must be healthy from the inside out. Spiritual health for the Christian begins with the heart.
- It would stretch up ever upward. A tree is always growing, stretching its leafy branches toward the sky. The Christian must ever be growing toward and pointing to heaven.
- It would produce fruit outward. A fruit tree yields much produce. The Christian is to be productive in good works and fruit of the Spirit.
(Jer. 17:7-8)
