The Gospel of Matthew - A Tree and Its Fruits | Matthew Chapter 7 : 15 - 20

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus warns his followers to beware of false prophets who come disguised as sheep but are actually ravenous wolves. He advises them to recognize these false prophets by their fruits, as a good tree produces good fruit, while a bad tree produces bad fruit. Jesus emphasizes that a tree is known by its fruit, and likewise, false prophets can be identified by the outcomes of their teachings and actions. He concludes by affirming that every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire, indicating the consequences of false teaching. This passage underscores the importance of discernment and vigilance in identifying false prophets and adhering to genuine teachings that produce good fruit in one's life.
