Overview & Insights

"Thus you will recognize them by their fruits." (Matthew 7:20)

Jesus warns against false prophets who come in sheep's clothing and teaches that a tree is known by its fruit, since every healthy tree bears good fruit. He adds that not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom, but only the one who does the will of the Father.
