- We know that good men and women bare good fruit on their tree of life. We also know that corrupt men and women bare bad fruit on their tree of life. We can tell a lot about a person by looking at what fruit hangs on their tree. Some are able to put on a good face but deep inside they are a different kind of tree. Be wary of that. Jesus said;”For every tree is known for his own fruit. For of thorns, men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his or her heart bringeth forth that which is good. An evil man out of the evil treasures of his or her heart brings forth that which is evil; for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh.” I say we should be fruit inspectors when choosing friends. When you put bad fruit into a bowl of good fruit it will ruin the good fruit pretty quickly. This is especially true for our youth today. They need to have a good root system in the tree they are becoming, and learn to check out the fruit of the person they associate with, so their fruit always stays good.
