You Will Know Them by Their Fruit (Matthew 7:15-20)

Beware of False Prophets (v. 15-16a)

How do they come to us?

In sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves

What does that mean?

How will we recognize them?

By their fruit

Good and Bad Fruit (v.16b-18)

You are going to harvest from the Plant that is planted

You will not grow grapes on a thornbush and figs from thistles

A Healthy Tree

Bears good fruit

Cannot bear bad fruit

A Diseased Tree

Bears bad fruit

Cannot bear good fruit

The Result of Bad Fruit (v. 19-20)

What happens to the tree that does not bear good fruit?

It gets cut down and thrown into the fire

You will know them by their fruit
