Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits
 
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
  • False pastors = tradition of men = their words
  • Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
  • Of = from, or away from = Beware and keep away from false teaching
  • Ravening = means to be caught up
  • They look like the sheep of God, but they are false pastors
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
  • Ye shall know them by their fruits
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
  • Good tree = teach good fruits = God's Word
  • Bad tree = teach evil fruits = false teaching
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
  • Good fruits = teach the word of God
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
 
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
  • Those that teach falsely will not enter into heaven
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
 
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
 
Jude 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
