Rot It occurred to me that only when a fruit falls off, it rots after a while. A ripe fruit without the tree also rots when left with another that is already rotten. But, if a fruit is forever left in a tree as it has been written in many occasions about the tree of #life, it stays healthy and full of #life. The same goes for a Christian... A true believer and a follower of Christ The Lord can only stay alive and healthy in the spirit if he or she stayed bound to the tree of #life; i.e. Jesus Himself. Otherwise, if lift amongst the unrighteousness for a little while and unattached to The Lord, the spirit of that person dies out and he/ she becomes very much like all the sinful non-believers around him/her.
