Matthew 3 compares our spiritual actions to trees bearing fruit. Just like a tree needs proper care to give good apples, our souls need a real connection to God. The Pharisees thought their family ties to Abraham were enough. But just being related to someone special doesn’t guarantee good deeds or intentions.
God gave Israel guidelines on how to live right, but over time, they tried to find their own way. This led to mistakes and “bad fruit.”
Today’s challenge? Always check if we’re genuinely following God’s path or just relying on our own views. Like a tree needs water and sunlight, we need true faith to produce good spiritual results.
