15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

17 Likewise, every good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
What do we need to know today? We should be part of the tree of life with God, not the part of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which is judged.
