Matthew 7: 15-20
True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
We all want to improve so that we can be the best disciple of Jesus that is possible. We want our actions to mirror our desire; we want to live what we believe and preach. Jesus wants this for us too and has given us models, from family members, and friends to the saints whose lives inspire us. We see in them that our desire to bear good fruit is possible; These are our models. Let us, then, be wary of false prophets who can easily lead us astray, but continue to act in the belief that we can and will grow holy through God's grace.
