There are two types of Christians!

One type believes in Jesus only intellectually (knowledge-wise).

I think it's very difficult for this type of Christian to bear fruit.

...Because their words, actions, and thoughts haven't changed, their lives before and after becoming Christians remain the same.

...The second type is someone whose spirit has been reborn through a spiritual experience.

For this type of person, their life changes before and after believing in Jesus.

Their thoughts, words, and actions change.

...Even without realizing it themselves, family and friends will notice and say, "You've really changed! 😱‼️"

...This is living proof!

If you're having trouble with family evangelism, please take a look inside your heart.

...This isn't applicable to those who have only recently believed in Jesus. 😅
Don't worry.

…Proverbs 27:2.
“‘Let others praise you, not with your own mouth;
Not with your own lips,
by others.’”
…There may be a difference in the fruit that a person who has been truly spiritually reborn within by the Holy Spirit bears, even if it is not visible from the outside.
…What Jesus is concerned with is the inner self…the essence of a person.
…A true Christian's inner self is transformed.
The heart itself, which is the personality, is changed from self-centered to God-centered.
…Shalom 😃
