By their fruit you shall easily know them.
That tree has a branch or two that seems to produce good fruit but overall the majority of the branches produce fruit that is incompatible with a civilized society.
–Pastor Ward Clinton
In the Al kitab ul muqaddas it says, “By their fruit you shall know them.” This truth is often repeated because our eternal interests depend so much upon it. My Muslim friends should already know where to find those words I have quoted; they are found in the Injil and to refuse to read the Injil is to be a disbeliever.
Not to have good fruit is to have bad; there can be no innocent sterility in the invisible tree of the heart. He that brings forth bad fruit and he that brings forth no fruit are both fit only for the fire.
Messiah Jesus said, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth… Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I, [Messiah Jesus, the holy one of God,] profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
