"You will know them by their fruits." Matthew 7:16-27
Matthew 7:16-27: “You will know them by their
fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? So every
sound tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears evil fruit. A sound
tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every
tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Thus you will know them by their fruits. Not every one who says to me,
‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the
will of my Father who is in Heaven. On that day many will say to me,
‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in
your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I
declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.’
Everyone, then, who hears these words of mine and does them will be like
a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain fell, and
the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did
not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who
hears these words of mine, and does not do them will be like a foolish
man who built his house upon the sand; and the rain fell, and the floods
came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and
great was the fall of it.”
