"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them." Matthew 7:15-16 (NIV)
Near the end of the now famous sermon on the mount, Jesus warns the people to beware of false prophets who come as wolves in sheep's clothing.
Not all "leaders" or "friends" are really who they present themselves to be. They actually want to deceive, mislead, and take advantage of us. Check out their "fruit" and pray before getting involved with people. You can tell the type of tree by the fruit it bears.
