Context of Matthew 7:19
17So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits. 18A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits. Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 20By their fruits then surely ye shall know them. 21Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
