Luke 3:7-9 King James Version (KJV)
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Luke 3:7-9 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
7 He then said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. And don’t start saying to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones! 9 Even now the ax is ready to strike the root of the trees! Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
7 We learn from Matthew that the crowds of people he shouted to be the Pharisees. Baptism shows that we are ready to meet Jesus face to face. Those who have Jesus should be baptized thru faith we avoid God’s wrath by the grace of Jesus.
8 Just because they were Jewish did not mean they were in God’s grace, Being of the faith is not something you are born into you may be born into blessings which the Jews were but their blessings did not mean they had faith. When we have faith the Spirit will show by bearing the fruit of the Spirit in us. The Spirit will work in us if we have Him.
9 Judgment will come one day many will be surprised where they go because all the work they thought they had done for something but because it was not for Him then it was for nothing.
