15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. (Matthew 7)
Beware of Nuts - spiritual Nuts. Historically there have been many, and there still are today. They ask you to believe things that are totally untrue, to follow them and do things they themselves do not do. Jesus was often accused of being a nut, and His followers for going after Him. But neither was nuts. He was truth and lived the truth He taught. He and His followers are known by their spiritual truth. He lived totally faithful to what He said and taught. But His grace and power and Holy Spirit His followers learn to do the same. Don't follow a nut, and don't be one either. Follow Jesus.
