For we speak and act from the overflow of our hearts. Jesus used the illustration of a tree to remind us that fruit is always true to its character.
An apple tree can only produce apples, not oranges, therefore a good person produces the good from within their heart, not evil.
The heart, the center of our being, determines our outward behavior and deeds and must be changed or converted. Without that inward change, no one can do God's will.
Blessings,
