Apples grow on apple trees, oranges on orange trees.
If we say we are an apple but look like an orange, we may fool ourselves but others know that we are an orange. Of course no one goes about saying he is an apple or an orange, but it gets serious if I proclaim my Christianity but my fruit does not bear this out. Christians look a certain way. They do certain things. They speak only the truth They repent quickly when they don't measure up.
