SHALL WE UPROOT THEM (the tares)? Mt. 13: 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

This does not mean as some falsely interpret that the devil and his children, the children of the devil, are to be allowed free reign to run amok, rapacious, ravening, destructive, and destroying in the church and in the world, unchallenged, and unrestrained in any way whatsoever. There are too many scriptures to refute this lie than I can post here:

 Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Pe. 5: 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Tit 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing ^G1492 that ^G3754 he that is such ^G5108 is subverted, ^G1612 and ^G2532 sinneth, ^G264 being ^G5607 condemned of himself. ^G843

( Heretick: schismatic, factious, a follower of a false doctrine).

1 Jo. 3: 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

We come back to one of the questions posed earlier:

What is the relationship of Jesus Christ the true, and only Sower appointed by God, afterwards with those who heard Him, and rejected Him? Emphasis on afterwards, brothers and sisters, because after God has thoroughly nourished them with the gospel message, they still self-willfully produced evil fruit, giving proof positive that any and all such persons do not belong to His kingdom at all, nor ever will.

Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Jhn 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

After this God sees all such as absolute enemies of Jesus Christ, therefore they are against all that God is, for all eternity. God will absolutely make no truce, no compromise, and no peace, with those who reject His Son Jesus christ. God will never consider the children of the devil as the children of God. God tells the everlasting truth about them they are the children of the devil, who will ultimately be punished and tormented, in the lake of fire with the devil, demons, and fallen angels.

Before we continue on with this study, brothers and sister, let us keep in remembrance continually, that through Jesus Christ the church is not weak, but fully armed to the teeth through Him. Let us also keep in remembrance continually, that our Triune God is unlimited in power; unbeatable; unconquerable; whom no foe can ever defeat, and His will has, is and will be done according to His word without fail:

The power of God:

Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

The power of the Son Jesus Christ:

Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

The power of the Holy Ghost:

1Th 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

The power of Jesus Christ that He gives to His people: 

Luk 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Fear not, dear saints (G40 hagios) neither be afraid, but trust completely, glorify and praise God for he is always completely in full control at all times, from the Old Testament to The New Testament and forever and ever world without end. Our God has made us to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might forever. Amen.

 Psa 66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

Dan 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Dan 4:25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

1Co 10:26 for “the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness.”

God forever rules and controls all things in heaven and the affairs of all men on earth.

Brothers and sisters, more than a few of us find studies regarding the devil and his tares (children), disturbing, distasteful, in more than a few ways horrifying, even terrifying. Yet, we never have to fear the truth of God's word; because we fully trust in and on our God, (for whom it is impossible for Him to ever lie), and must absolutely and fully heed and believe the whole truth of what the word of God tells us about the devil and his tares (children). In doing so we become rooted in the absolute truth of the eternal, final standard, of who God considers a part of His kingdom, from those whom He has eternally excluded from being a part of His kingdom forever. Rejecting God’s plan of salvation exclusively through His Son Jesus Christ has eternal, final consequences for all eternity: 

 Mt. 13: 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Obviously brothers and sisters there comes a time, we must fully understand, that when seeds are planted, they come to maturity and expectedly yield forth fruit in the image of the seed of origins. Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Please Note, dearly beloveds: men sleep; God never sleeps and always knows that which belongs to Him. Note also brothers and sisters that none can deny that the tares have been offered the care of God-all the way up to the fruiting season, or until they bear fruit. See here, fully understand and know, that God leaves no one to slip through the cracks. In earlier posts, the Bible was cited showing that God allowed the gospel to be sowed not only on the good ground, but also on the ground that was not good; proof positive that God, FOR WHOM IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIE, is merciful, desiring none to perish, and is utterly just in condemning unbelief in His Son, our only Saviour, and sole Mediator between God and man.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, God absolutely guarantees that no one will wind up in heaven or hell unjustly. God absolutely verifies, and authenticates the nature of ALL the fruit without error, absolutely proving; whether it is good or bad.  Keep in mind too, that it is impossible for God to lie; it is impossible for God to bring forth corrupt fruit. God only brings forth good fruit, for He is absolutely perfect, and holy, good all the time; world without end. God is absolutely good all the time and all the time God is absolutely good.

Every farmer and gardener knows that they can expend every effort of feeding and care to get a seed to the place where it matures and produces fruit; however, whether the seed produces good or bad fruit is due to the nature of the seed itself and absolutely no fault of the farmer or gardener.  

Mat 7:18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Neither farmer nor gardener are happy or gloats when any of the seeds fail to produce good fruit. Neither does God: Eze 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Next time we look at that other “sower” the devil and his tares.

Jesus Christ, our Saviour and sower, does far, far more than merely passively watching over His sheep, understand, beloveds, He is always actively involved with each individual sheep and also the flock as a whole; regardless of their offices or placement within the body.

Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Luk 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

Purge, meaning: I.to cleanse thoroughly; cleanse perfectly, i.e. (specially) winnow: —thoroughly purge.

Jesus will allow tests and trials some of them very difficult, even fiery; to not destroy, but to strengthen every seed in faith, and perseverance and growth in patience. As supreme commander of the armies of the Lord, He will take us though hardships that train us as good soldiers to fight the good fight of faith. He gives us as new creatures in Him the mind set like His own to understand His will and to fully embrace the path that He has set before us.

Every difficulty is carefully chosen for each particular sheep and the body as a whole. Nothing is ever random or accidental, regardless of the level of difficulty. As Christians, we see and know Jesus is with us in the trenches as well as in times of peace. Jesus is before the throne of God the Father making intercession for me and you, all of us, calling each of us by name. God the Son, Jesus Christ; God the Father; God the Holy Spirit, indwelling each and every one of us, prevents the devil from ever being able to inhabit any of us His people. Wheat will grow under the winds of testing, but chaff will be blown away.

Note: God also allows the chaff to be tested too; the same as the wheat. For this reason, no one, absolutely no one,  will ever be able to accuse God of being unfair and withholding proving testing from them. Everyone professing faith in Christ, He will test, try and prove that which actually belongs to Him or not.

Therefore, beloveds it is not about the level of ease or difficulty in dealing with our tests and trials, but to fully embrace them, understanding God’s purposes for us in them, and fully trusting in and co-operating with God to produce the kind of good fruit in us that overcomes in all of them; which results from obedience out of love for Jesus Christ in the midst of them.

Be fully confident, without fear, dearly beloveds, that Jesus Christ will be tenderly comforting, loving, guiding, disciplining, chastising, continually feeding us with His everlasting truth. He will make each of us all that we can be in Him for our good and His glory.

Brothers and sisters, through God the Son Jesus Christ by the power of God the Father and the enablement of the Holy Spirit;  there is an absolute 100% guarantee eternal NO slip and fall forever plan for His followers. Jude 1: 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Say it with me brothers and sisters. Lord Jesus we (I) thank you, we  (I) have NO doubt-you Lord have got the everlasting, almighty power to keep us (me) forever, and none shall ever pluck us (me) from your hands; nor ever prevent us (me) from having everlasting life in you. Lord Jesus we (I) thank you, that none of your sheep shall ever be lost; for you have exempted us from ever falling for all eternity. We (I) bless your holy name, Lord Jesus that you empower your (me) people in your work of gathering in the sheaths to eternal life. Go back, beloveds and personalize it by putting (“I”) and (“me”) as shown.

This is because we, all the people of God,  as a whole have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord, but also an individual personal one as well. We can and must claim both with everlasting joy.

Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Uttermost meaning all completely, perfectly, utterly, without fail in any way or manner whatsoever.

We must absolutely understand, brothers and sisters, that it is the absolute evil will of the devil, evil incarnate, father of lies, who through lies, deceptions, and various snares, attempts to suppress/pervert the gospel so he can trick, ensnare, or capture people to follow Him, and be lost forever.  

God, however, eternally has an absolute one hundred percent guarantee against loss prevention plan in place by His almighty power; because God’s will trump’s the devil’s will and all others forever:

2 Ti. 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

   Jude 1: 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Here on earth, brothers and sisters, we partner, by the will and almighty power of God, with our Lord, who enables us to keep diligently teaching and preaching the whole everlasting, truth of the word of God to bring salvation, that delivers and prevents people from being kept captive by the lies trickery and will of the devil. God gives us complete comfort, assurance, and great happiness in knowing that though Jesus Christ, all who believe in Him, He will bring into His kingdom.

God allows all who hear the gospel message to either believe or reject salvation which determines whether the message will take root in the heart and bring forth fruit, or not. There is nothing haphazard nor defective in the Vine nor His power to produce good fruit. The defect, as aforementioned, is in those branches that despite all of the care given, refuses to receive the nourishment of the Vine (Jesus Christ). 

Jesus Christ will not force anyone into heaven against their will. Understand this, brothers and sisters,  make no mistakes about this; God absolutely does not ever approve, accept or condone the human self-will above or against His own sovereign will. The only will acceptable for all time is the will of God. Those who choose their own will against or over the will of God will pay the price and face the wrath of God and eternal damnation. God’s way is the only right way and the only right way is God’s way, for God is good all the time; and all the time God is good.

Firstly, beloveds, we have to keep in mind that it is absolutely clear and without question, based on the eternal final truth of scripture that God is merciful, it is impossible for God to lie, and God is faithful in that His Son, the Sower, sole Saviour and Mediator sows the word into the hearts of ALL that hear Him;

REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION OF THE HEART, AND ITS INTENTIONS OR WILLINGNESS, TO EITHER BELIEVE OR REJECT IT. THIS IS THE MERCY OF GOD.

On earth the gospel is preached to all through God’s help, Sovereign Will and people. Behind the scenes in the unseen spiritual realm, God is at work as well, to thoroughly feed every branch so that all which partake of the word, are able to and shall bear Good fruit. Good fruit is the only fruit acceptable with God and the only kind He can produce. The fruit bears the image of the Seed of its origins, and NO others. Note, Absolutely NONE of the branches are fed less than others by the Vine, (Jesus Christ); all branches are fed EQUALLY, the problem is that some of the branches completely reject the nourishment of the Vine. Therefore such branches cannot bear any fruit and hence are removed, by God. Only afterwards, does God allow that false sower the devil to begin  his work of pruning, his own, who rejected the word in the first place, and will in no wise ever receive it, neither believing nor trusting in it.

Jhn 15:1 'I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman; 2 every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

Jesus Christ, Saviour, Son of God, sole Mediator between God and man, through God the Father, supplies everything a person needs to ensure that they have everything they need to come to faith in Him, which also condemns those that resist the truth, because over and over again the Bible tells us it is never God’s intent or purpose for anyone to ever perish. This is because God has made total provision for all to be saved, through faith in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, this eternal truth will and must be said over and over again without wavering of any kind.

God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked:

 Eze 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

Some of us pray for our unsaved loved ones, even with tears and weeping that they should believe in Jesus Christ and be saved, I know I have. Brothers and sisters, we can take comfort that nobody wants our unsaved loved ones to be saved more than God, who sent His Son Jesus Christ to ensure salvation for all, whomsoever will come to Him.

Certainly some brothers and sisters might say “Uh, wait a minute here, if God wants everybody saved so badly how come God allows the devil to take or snatch away the gospel sown in some people’s hearts and never in some others?”  This is a good question. Now some may wrongfully conclude that since the devil can take away or is allowed by God to take away that which is sown in some hearts and never others,  there cannot be any justification for God to condemn anyone to hell, which is a lie. The Bible will give us Gods final answer as we go forward regarding these matters. I look forward to seeing you here next time my beloveds.

What exactly is good ground, brothers and sisters?  Jesus Christ states what it is and the final standard of it for all time: Luk 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth GOOD fruit with patience.

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Click on G3670 to understand it is not about the error of having to count all of our sins and confessing them each individually to get saved,  but in belief and faith to agree with God that we are sinners who believe that His Son Jesus Christ, is the sole author and Saviour who forgives all sins of all who believe on Him for all time-reverences right to back to Ro. 10: 9-10; and not the false doctrine of begging Jesus over and over again for forgiveness obtained once for all for all who believe in and through the sinless sacrifice of Himself. We must never forget this, that the evidence of a good heart is that through faith in Jesus Christ, it (all who believe), is enabled and empowered to produce varying amounts of GOOD fruit. If anyone claims salvation and does not produce good fruit, they have failed to meet the final standard of salvation, and therefore they cannot and do not belong to Jesus Christ. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING passive about salvation those who receive it, believe it and live it, according to God’s final and eternal standard. Obviously the first GOOD fruit that any believer produces is to continue in and to take forth to others the same sole eternal gospel message of Jesus Christ alone, through whom they received eternal salvation at the first.

Why does Jesus Christ the only true, appointed Sower scatter the seed, the gospel message even on those who neither, believe, understand or value other things over the gospel message? This is an easy answer, because God is merciful; there is no one who will ever be able to say that God is unfair and withheld the gospel message from them. There is none that will ever have the excuse that God failed to give them the same gospel message and help that He gave to all others. There will be none that will ever be able to question the mercy and patience of God toward all men or question His divine will for all people:  

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God does not want anyone to perish, brothers and sisters, but those who reject His Son Jesus Christ, have condemned themselves, and  will pay the price of eternal punishment and damnation in the lake of fire, forever cast away from the presence of God.

I know some of you have further questions, and thank you for your patience, there are more answers to come, through the Bible our final answer for all time. Note, final answers according to the Bible correctly interpreted, the sole standard for all times for all Christians and even the whole world.

1 Pe. 1: 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

There are no substitutes or options for the word of God. Only the word of God will stand forever, everything and any one that stands against the word of God will absolutely fail.

We, brothers and sisters, also must understand that when a person, hears and believes the gospel message, he or she becomes a good seed, that is the good progeny or off spring of Jesus Christ. Unlike a mere earthly seed whose ability to remain/retain purity and length of life is questionable; we must be careful here to fully know and understand that Jesus Christ who is both Sower, and seed, is absolutely eternally superior and powerful than any natural seed of the earth. Jesus Christ is the sower and the seed who alone can grant eternal life with the guarantee that it is impossible for this life to fail or fade away in any manner whatsoever. Brethren, therefore have confidence in God steadfast and without wavering. And this we will do by His power.

Like a good seed all believers will grow, not all at once, but over time in strength, and in resistance to corrupt and injurious elements, (various trials, tests) to maturity to produce various amounts of good fruit; always kept and under the protection of Jesus Christ.

The questions, my dearly beloveds, that remain are why does Jesus allow the word to be scattered on other than good ground.? What exactly is good ground anyway? What is the relationship of Jesus Christ afterwards with those who heard Him, and did not believe him and or did not understand Him? Brothers and sisters the Bible is a tell all holy book in these matters and well able to answer these questions. Thanks for your patience, I believe there is much more that the Bible has to tell us regarding Jesus Christ our Sower and Seed.
