Luke 6:43-45 ""For no fine tree produces rotten fruit, and no rotten tree produces fine fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For example, people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they cut grapes off a thorn bush. A good man brings good out of the good treasure of his heart, but a wicked man brings what is wicked out of his wicked treasure; for out of the heart's abundance his mouth speaks."

The tree in this illustration would be an individual or group of individuals claiming to be God's servants. The fruit would be the words, actions and displays of love that are shown by these individuals or groups of individuals. You would then be able to judge a tree by it's fruit. The individual that is producing fine fruit would be a good tree. A tree not producing any fruit or rotten fruit would be a worthless tree. Jesus made this illustration to help his followers identify false Christians from sincere Christians.
