How can we define what is good and what is evil? How can one tell whether a person is good or evil? What came first good or evil? These questions have lurked in our mind until the end of time but where do we "humans" find the answer? The scriptures of the world's religions provide a variety of answers to these questions.
One example of this is Matthew 7: 18-20 which states:
18 “A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 “So then, you will know them by their fruits.
This passages define good and evil by their fruits. A good person or a good deed bears good fruits; and an evil person or an evil deed produces evil fruits. From the fruits, the person's heart and sincerity can be known.
