John the babtist prepares the way
Example of fruit worthy of repentance in my own, first is to surrender my self to the lord God, to pray my wrong doing in my neighbors, my shortcomings to my relatives, my mistakes to co-workers, accept him as personal savior, asking for forgiveness and mercy for my sins, second is to serve him, ador him, trust him and faith with him, attend and participate in the mass, hears and sings gospel songs, attend the bible study and hear the preaching, do good to the neigbors and to co-workers, help relatives and their childrens guide them, also help the needy specialy the older peoples, give time and advice to the problematic friends, to be a good christians with humbleness as I modeled the lord jesus christ.

Fruit
Baptism washing away of the sins and becoming inheritants of God`s Kindom. God opening up the Path for his children and smoothering it. Staraightening of the crooked. All flesh will see God`s salvation.`Will He save our bodise too? reference to the resurrection on Judgement Day?or does it mean all those who sprang from Adam inclined to think second. Life stone hearts become alive hardened by sin vivified by Love and Faith and Hope. Good trees that now in turn can produce goof offspring.

Now in the fifteenth
year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of
Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip
tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch
of Abilene, in the high
priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of
Zacharias, in the wilderness. He came into all the region around
the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
As it is written in the
book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
All flesh will see
God's salvation.'"
He said therefore to
the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of
vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits
worthy of repentance, and don't begin to say among yourselves, 'We have
Abraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up
children to Abraham from these stones! Even now the axe also lies at the
root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn't bring forth good
fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire."
The multitudes asked
him, "What then must we do?"
He answered them,
"He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has
food, let him do likewise."
Tax collectors also
came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we
do?"
He said to them,
"Collect no more than that which is appointed to you."
Soldiers also asked
him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?"
He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse
anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
As the people were in
expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether
perhaps he was the Christ, John answered them all, "I
indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the
latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in
the Holy Spirit and fire, whose fan is in his hand, and he
will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat
into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Then with many other
exhortations he preached good news to the people, but Herod the tetrarch, being
reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and
for all the evil things which Herod had done, added this also to them all, that
he shut up John in prison.
