好果子举例:
Gal 5:22 圣灵所结的果子,就是仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、
Gal 5:23 温柔、节制。
Mat 5:3-10: 虚心,为罪哀恸,温柔,饥渴慕义,怜恤人,清心,使人和睦,肯为义受逼迫.
The Cardinal Virtues: Prudence, Fortitude, Temperance, Justice
The Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope, and Love
坏果子就是与以上好果子相反的.
举例:
The Seven Capital Sins,
PRIDE ... Unrestrained appreciation of our own worth.
GREED ... Immoderate desire for earthly goods.
LUST ... Longing for impure pleasures.
ANGER ...Inordinate desire for revenge.
GLUTTONY ... Unrestrained use of food and drink.
ENVY ... Sorrow over another's good fortune.
SLOTH ... Laxity in keeping the Faith and the practice of virtue, due to the effort involved.
定义完了你就可以知道,当某个坏果子被主耶稣修剪好了以后,比如把骄傲修理掉结出虚心的好果子,那么他以后就有了虚心而没有骄傲了.那修剪还没完成的时候,只要他肯被修剪,终会结出好果子的.
好果子比较多的树, 拒绝被主耶稣修剪其坏果子的,你说呢?我说不好.
