You Will Know Them By Their Fruits

In “You Will Know Them by Their Fruits,” Trey Knowles calls his audience to honestly examine America’s version of Christianity. He raises the challenging question: Is America truly a Christian nation? By looking at the past and comparing it to the present, Knowles urges listeners to consider whether today’s different tactics and approaches actually reflect Christ’s character and teachings.

Drawing from Matthew 7:15–20, Jesus’ warning about false prophets, Knowles emphasizes that true faith is revealed not by words or appearances, but by actions and outcomes. Just as good trees bear good fruit and bad trees bear bad fruit, the values and behaviors of a nation—or its leaders—reveal their true nature.

Jesus clearly warned about deceptive enemies and their tactics, and the message reminds believers that discernment comes from examining the fruit. In the end, we will know them by their fruits.
