If Your Faith Hasn’t Changed You… Has It Really Saved You?

Matthew 3:7–8 — “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.”

The kingdom of heaven isn’t a place for spiritual pretenders. It’s a place where lives are transformed—from the inside out. God’s desire isn’t to polish up the old you; He wants to remake you into the likeness of Jesus. Think about that.

New thoughts. New desires. New direction.

Because the unmistakable proof of genuine faith is one thing: CHANGE.

That’s why John the Baptist didn’t celebrate when the Pharisees and Sadducees showed up for baptism. He didn’t applaud their religious appearance. He exposed their empty motives. They wanted a religious merit badge… not a spiritual breakthrough.

God wants to reshape our thinking until we carry the mind of Christ.
He wants to rewire our actions until His will is visible on earth through us as it is in heaven. 
God wants change—real, undeniable, unmistakable change.

John’s message to the religious leaders was sharp because the stakes were high:

Outward religious activity without inward surrender is worthless to God.

And that warning still stands.
If repentance is real, it will show up in your life.
If faith is alive, it will bear fruit.

Because true repentance doesn’t whisper.
It doesn’t hide.
It doesn’t blend in.

True repentance always produces Christ-revealing change…

ALWAYS.

Now be honest with yourself. Is godly change happening in you?
