How can we know if someone is a true follower of Jesus Christ? In a day when people stand in the public forum and proclaim their Christianity, how can we discern between true and false believers? Is it possible to quote Scripture, claim to be a Christian, and yet be eternally lost?

Jesus said that those falsely professing to serve him would be distinguished from his true followers by their fruits​—their teachings and their conduct. (Matt. 7:1517, 20) Indeed, people are inevitably influenced by what they take into their mind and heart. (Matt. 15:18, 19) Those who are fed falsehoods produce “worthless fruit,” whereas those who are taught spiritual truth produce “fine fruit.”

The two kinds of fruits have become clearly manifest during this time of the end. (Read Daniel 12:3, 10.) False Christians have a distorted view of God and often a hypocritical form of godly devotion, whereas those having spiritual insight worship God “with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24; 2 Tim. 3:15) They strive to display Christlike qualities. But what about us personally? Ask yourself: ‘Do my conduct and teachings clearly harmonize with God’s Word? Do I beautify the truth in the eyes of those searching for it?’.

The only real way for us, as humans, to know if someone has truly become a Christian is to observe that person’s life on the outside. Since we cannot see the interior of the human heart as God does, we have to look to their actions as an indicator of their faith. May our hearts be filled with the pure love of Christ, the true sign of every true disciple of Jesus Christ.
