Today was a good day, with the rain that came yesterday I was able to pull weeds out of our softened garden. It got me to thinking about what Jesus said about those who don't worship Him. He was explaining a parable that He had earlier told a multitude of people from a boat. In that parable He talked about a man who sowed good seed in his field but when he went to sleep his enemies came and planted tares which are weeds that are good for nothing. The man's servants asked if he wanted them to pull up the weeds but he said to wait until the harvest so that the wheat wouldn't be disturbed by the pulling of the weeds. Then the weeds were to be separated and burned. The scripture with this parable was Mathew 13:24-30 but the scripture that I was reminded of was Mathew 13:40 "Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age."
Previously, in 38, Jesus said that the tares represented the sons of the wicked one. Anyone who doesn't worship Jesus in this life will be thrown into the fires of hell. It doesn't get any simpler than this. Either confess Jesus now and be gathered unto Him in the next life or deny Him now, but confess Him in the next life when He is turning His back to you and you are burning like those worthless weeds. The choice is yours.....
