Where Do You Fall In?

Heb 6:7 For the "earth" which drinks in the "rain" that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;
Heb 6:8 but if it bears" thorns and briars", it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

ELEMENTS OF CONSIDERATION
1. Earth - Earth symbolizes the man made from the dust of the earth. Gen 2:7
2. Rain - Rain is usually from the sky also known as the heaven, heaven also known as the dwelling place of GOD. Rain is also water and water in some cases symbolizes the word of GOD. John 3:5,4:14
3. Thorns and briars - Unwanted and harmful plants that stings and are useful only to be burnt. Num 33:55, judges 8:7

Let's start by analyzing the passage sentence for sentence.

SENTENCE 1.
- "For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it."
Lets rephrase that sentence with the understanding of our elements : " For man who often drinks in or takes in the word of GOD that comes down from heaven "

SENTENCE 2
- "and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God"
Rephrase :
" and uses what he has received from GOD, process it in his life and makes it a character, then produces something From within; a finished product of GOD'S gift and working in him, to give to those who cultivate or are around him that they use it and grow in faith in GOD. For work well done, GOD blesses him and those around him "

SENTENCE 3
-" but if it bears thorns and briars, it is rejected and near to being cursed, "
Rephrase:
"if man doesn't make the words of GOD active in his life through his character, he will produce things that stings and hurts people around him, things unwanted and not useful will be the only thing he produces and people will reject it and almost curse it even GOD will almost curse it(remember the story of the fig tree that JESUS cursed). "

SENTENCE 4.
- "whose end is to be burned."
Rephrase :
"the end of that man that produces unwanted behaviors or character, will be cast into eternal hell "

GOD said I should ask you "WHERE DO YOU FALL IN? "
Friends please bear fruits worthy of repentance, time is short, use it wisely and produce things of GOD'S nature and you'll escape HIS fierce judgment.

Please read John 15:1-7.
