Aleem contrasts and considers the rules and the fruit of belief through Luke 13:1-9.
I don’t need to ask the question, “are people following the rules?” I need to ask, “How does the fruit of my life help other people to bear fruit in theirs? How do we love each other and love each other in such a way that it leads them to Jesus and as they find Jesus, they bear fruit?”
