The final test of the Spirit, and the only test of the Spirit Jesus ever gave is the ultimate and final test. He said, "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns and figs of thistles."
Even so every good man shall bring forth good fruit. Simply said, he will do good things. He say good things, he will think good things. He will think of others before he thinks of himself. He will help those in need. He will give freely of what he has; he will give shelter to those in the cold. He will give food to the hungry. He has a heart of good.
A corrupt man will bring forth evil fruit. He will attack those who attack him with vengence, he will always try to win, he will seek money at any cost, he will never help anyone or give anything of his precious possessions for the benefit of his fellow men. He will speak poorly of people. He will be mean spirited (maybe only show it on the inside). He will lust after things that are not his. He will be filled with jealousy and envy. His heart is for himself.
"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Mathew 7:16-18,20
Which one are you?
