You know the root by the fruit

A good person produces good things from his storeroom of good, and an evil person produces evil things from his storeroom of evil.

Matthew 12:35

Who you are on the inside comes out. We can all fake it for a while, maybe even a year or two, but eventually, someone who has evil on the inside will produce evil. Pay attention to the fruit and it will tell you about their root. And what about us? When we have “bad habits” we’re trying to break, make sure you address the root of sin not just putting a bandaid on the symptoms. We need the Spirit to fill us and control our lives. We don’t primarily need behavioral improvement, we need changed hearts. Learn to give God control, He is meant to be our root. Then we will produce good fruit.
