Proverbs 11:30
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
The fruit of righteousness is compared to a tree of life, symbolizing the eternal benefits of living in alignment with God’s will. A righteous life, rooted in wisdom and obedience to God, bears fruit that brings life, not only to the individual but to others as well. The wise person, who lives according to God’s Word, impacts others by leading them to life, healing, and salvation. Just as a tree gives life to those who eat its fruit, the righteous person is a source of spiritual nourishment and blessing to those around them. This is the kind of life we are called to live—a life of righteousness that produces not only personal blessings but also shares those blessings with others. Wisdom, when applied to life, has the power to save and transform lives. Our righteous living can bring life to a hurting world, pointing others to the ultimate source of life—Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 65:22
For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands.
Matthew 7:19
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Job 14:7
For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender branch will not cease.
Revelation 7:1
I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds.
