You will know them by their fruits.
Matt 7:17 “So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 “A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
As Christians, we tend to think that if we say we are good, we are good. We tend to think that if we pretend we are good, we are good. We think that if we appear good, we are good. If we look good on Sunday, we are good.
Jesus tells us the truth and it is not what we think. He said that if we are good then we will produce good works. In other words, if you actions are not good, then you are not good. If the fruit of your way of life cause yourself and others constant pain, suffering and sorrow then you may be a bad tree producing bad fruit.
