Knowing God by: Being Like Christ

"If you want good fruit you must make the tree good, if your tree is not good, it will make bad fruit. A tree is known by the fruit it produces."
Matthew 12:33

Apple picking is fun. Running up and down the aisles of the orchard, picking nice and health apples. You especially like the ones with bird bites and worms oozing out of them, right? Yeah not so much. You want the one with no bird bites,or worms. You want a healthy apple.
And a healthy apple comes from a healthy tree.
Same goes for Christ- Followers, see, you can say "Christian" quotes, or verses, but the way you may treat others may not be the same as  the words you're saying.
That's the bad fruit in this verse.
How do you learn to be like Christ? Get to know Him.
You can get to know Him by reading His word and about His life. If you're learning about God, you are learning how you should live your life.
