Bearing Fruit | Matthew 7:17 Tee
The Message
Jesus gave us a simple rule of nature that is also a rule of the soul: "Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit." This design captures that tension with bold honesty. You cannot fake spiritual fruit. If the root is rotten, the fruit will rot too. But if the tree is made new by Christ, good fruit is inevitable. It’s a reminder that our behavior (the fruit) is just proof of who we belong to (the root). We don't do good works to get saved; we bear good fruit because we are saved.
The Mission
Use this shirt to Spread the Gospel. The contrast between the cheerful cartoon fruit and the "rotting" reality is a great hook. When someone notices the design, share the truth about the heart:
“I wear this because Jesus said a bad tree can't produce good fruit. It reminds me that I can't just 'act' better—I need Him to change my heart before I can produce anything real.”
The Wear
This lightweight, vintage-style tee brings unique energy to your walk. Soft ring-spun cotton drapes easily and feels cool against the skin, while the cheerful yet subversive print adds a bold reality checkto your look. Wear it to Bible study groups, equip classes, or while serving your brothers and sisters. Whether you are out evangelizing or simply giving God the glory in the mundane, the muted, worn-in vibe keeps it low-key but unmistakably clear. The crew neckline and classic cut make it easy to layer under a flannel or rock solo with jeans.
