Luke 6:43-45 - "For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.![]()
These verses act as a kind of x-ray of the heart. Whenever someone says or does something mean, or negative, and then say they were just kidding - they weren't. Jesus tells us that we say and do things that are already in us. When we hear people share kind words on a regular basis, it's simply a reflection of their inward condition. But when mean things are said or done, even if the person afterward says, "I was just joking," or "I didn't mean that," - yes they did (For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks). They may cover their tracks, but you can know what's in their heart... there's no hiding it because the mouth revealed it. We all have a little dirtiness within; but God stands willing to wash us and cleanse us daily of all unrighteousness... and His favorite method is through the working of the Holy Spirit cleansing us by the washing of the water of the Word.
