If a professing Christian is not producing the fruits of the Spirit, is this evidence that they are not born again? Should all Christians be producing the fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5? Why did Jesus curse a fig tree and completely destroy it? Was He warning about absolute destruction in hell?
Why, in His parable of the fruitless fig tree in the vineyard, did the vine dresser insist on digging around the tree, fertilizing it, and giving it another year to produce fruit?
In this video, I answer these questions and show that Jesus not only revealed how far God will go to bring the lost to Himself, but also that those who stand before Him fruitless, and faithless will be destroyed, for fruit is evidence of salvation.

12:28 A lesson about what we receive through prayer.
14:42 Why did Jesus curse and destroy the tree?
