Reading Matthew 6:15-23, NIV
Map: God cannot be deceived. A good tree bears good fruits and vice versa; it is not by accident-sower, reap principle. Be genuine and strive for righteousness and not lip service….but only he who does the will of my Father can enter the kingdom of God….’I never knew you. Away from me, you evil doers!’ (vs 23, NIV).
Matthew 7:15-23, GNB
[15]“Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves.
[16]You will know them by what they do. Thorn bushes do not bear grapes, and briars do not bear figs.
[17]A healthy tree bears good fruit, but a poor tree bears bad fruit.
[18]A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a poor tree cannot bear good fruit.
[19]And any tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown in the fire.
[20]So then, you will know the false prophets by what they do.
[21]“Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do.
[22]When Judgement Day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God’s message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’
[23]Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!’
