The bible warns against false prophets who may appear outwardly harmless or even righteous, but their true nature is deceptive. Jesus uses the metaphor of fruit to illustrate this: just as a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree produces bad fruit, so too will a person's actions reveal their true character. He emphasizes that false prophets, despite their outward appearances, can be recognized by their "fruits"—the outcomes of their teachings and behaviours. Todays message serves as a reminder to discern wisely and to evaluate the fruit of people's lives and actions to identify those who truly follow God.
