📖 “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” — Matthew 7:20 (KJV)
Jesus said you can tell the real from the fake by their fruit.
A good tree can’t bring forth bad fruit — and a bad tree can’t bring forth good.
Good fruit looks like a life that’s changing:
• Love that replaces bitterness.
• Peace instead of chaos.
• Service over selfishness.
• Humility that points back to God.
But bad or barren fruit tells a different story — words without follow-through, religion without repentance, appearance without obedience.
Jesus warned that every tree not bearing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. (Matthew 7:19)
You can’t fake fruit forever.
If Christ is in you, something living will start growing out of you.
If nothing’s growing, it’s time to check the root. 🌳🍎
