Matthew 7:16-20 "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

What fruit do I bear? Do people recognize me as a Christian? Is it just because of what I do for a living or because of the fruit I bear? Why do I want to bear fruit, to look good to other or to be recognized with my Lord?

Indigitate: Old Word Made New

I ran into this word reading Edwards' "Images and Shadows of Divine Things." He states in image #55

"That the works of nature are intended and contrived of God to signify and indigitate spiritual things is particularly evident, concerning the rainbow, by God's own express revelation."

The word essentially means to point forth. The root word is "digit", as in a finger that points. The types and images indigitate because the point toward the antitype.
