"A tree and its fruit" (from the bible)

The bible says in Matthew 7:16 " By their fruit you will reconize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?" Today I want to talk about how you can tell people by their fruit. Fruit, in life, are doings or sayings of other people. In that chapter it says that every good tree bears good fruit. That means if the fruit of a person is good, they are good people. It also says in that chapter that bad trees will bear bad fruit. That means that is the fruit of people is bad, they are bad people. Verse 18 says " A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." That means that bad people cannot have good fruit and good people cannot have bad fruit. The lesson here is that you can always tell the person by their fruit!
