Matthew 7:16-18 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
          17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
          18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
