Lord bless you! I have done what the

whether his activity is pure and whether it is right.
Matthew 7:16-20
7:16 You will recognize them by their fruit. Grapes are not gathered
from thorns or figs from thistles, are they?
7:17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad
tree bears bad fruit.
7:18 A good tree is not able to bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree to bear good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
7:20 So then, you will recognize them by their fruit.
Matthew 12:33-34
Trees and Their Fruit
12:33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is known by its fruit.
12:34 Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say anything good, since you are evil? For the mouth speaks from what fills the heart.
Titus 1:16
1:16 They profess to know God but with their deeds they deny him, since they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
