What does the Bible say about good and bad fruit?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit, reflecting the nature of a person's heart.

In Luke 6:43-45, Jesus illustrates the relationship between a person's nature and the outcomes of their lives—what He refers to as 'fruit.' He emphasizes that the character of a tree is revealed by the quality of its fruit: good trees produce good fruit, while bad trees produce bad fruit. This concept extends beyond mere actions or deeds; it speaks to the very disposition of the heart. The good man, influenced by a transformed nature, brings forth good things that align with the truth of the Gospel, while the wicked man, who remains in rebellion against God, is unable to produce anything genuinely good.
