WHY NOT UPROOT

Matthew 13:24-25

Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field.

But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away.

Many have asked, why does the Lord allow all these evils? Many use His name in vain, a lot of false doctrines here and there, infiltrated into the church, this not just in recent times but even from the time of the apostles:

1 John 4:1

Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.

From the very moment the apostles were persecuted and killed a lot of strange teachings, practices, denominations and powers have infiltrated the church system. Even after eyes of many were opened by the true meaning of salvation from bold men of old, many sects have yet infiltrated the church just as Christ told in the parable. 

So why has the Lord not wiped them all out:

Matthew 13:27-30

“The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’

“‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed.“‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked.

“‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do.

Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.’”

This is why firstly, salvation is personal! 

2 Timothy 2:19

But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.”

John 4:23-24

But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

The time of reckoning would soon be here, whether it meets one when they die physically, or if one lives to see the end of all things. Everyone must surely account. The sickle will do the harvest, and the evil ones (the tares) will be destroyed. 

Revelation 14:14-16

Then I saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was someone like the Son of Man. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

Then another angel came from the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, “Swing the sickle, for the time of harvest has come; the crop on earth is ripe.”

So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the whole earth was harvested.

Everyone must decide where they stand. No one can make the stand for you, no matter what title they carry. Even from the time of Moses everyone yet had to decide who stood for the Heavenly Father and who stood on the other side. 

There is no in between! 

Revelation 3:15-16

“I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other!

But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!

Stay on the Heavenly Father's righteous side: Christ Jesus is the righteous side. His word is available to study, people paid with their blood for you and I to have it, what is your excuse not to study it. 

Christ paid with His blood for us all to be called God's children and enjoy eternal life, no man, church, government or denominations was with Him when He paid the price. Do not take it for granted. 

No matter where you find yourself now, as you worship in that gathering, make sure you are wheat and not tares. Uplift the brethren don't be the enemy's representative. 

We shall not be cast away. We are the chosen. 

He calls us blessed. 

Love
