3. introduction
Matthew 7:16-20 KJV
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good
tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit. 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.

Mateo 7:16-20 MBB
16 Makikilala ninyo sila sa kanilang mga gawa. Mapipitas
ba ang ubas sa puno ng dawag, o ang igos sa matitinik na
halaman? 17 Mabuti ang bunga ng mabuting puno, subalit
masama ang bunga ng masamang puno. 18 Hindi
maaaring mamunga ng masama ang mabuting puno at
hindi maaaring mamunga ng mabuti ang masamang
puno. 19 Ang bawat punong hindi mabuti ang bunga ay
puputulin at itatapon sa apoy. 20 Kaya't makikilala ninyo
ang mga huwad na propeta sa pamamagitan ng kanilang
mga gawa.”

that is not affected by outward

Wherefore by their fruits, ye shall
know them
(Matthew 7: 20-21)
• Your fruit tells you who you are
• By praying and reading the Bible, we are not
changed according to what we want to be but
what God wanted us to be
• Producing the fruit is a long and quiet season
hence, we must be patient with it.
