Too Far Into The World!

The Wheat and the tares, the parable told by our Lord. Quite a story as you begin to dig deep for the meaning. Frightening as well.
For several days that parable has been running in my head. But only in the wee hours has it come to my attention, the anger of The Almighty.
I say He is angry because at the end of the story,He has the angels gather and burn the tares.
It is a story about going too far into the world, so that your soul has been lost to it. One may look like a wheat, which is the true believers, but in reality, they have become tares, or weeds.
One might ask, how does this happen? Over time, a little here a little there. Stepping into the wrong path that suduces us from The Way,that we are called to.
The Way of Holiness is a narrow way. There are rules for a Christian to follow. But the true Christian has a new nature planted in him at his new birth.We are told by Peter that it is a divine nature,II Peter 1:4. As we grow in His grace, verses 5-7 we abound in Him , that we shall neither be barron nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The tares are not so. They look like wheat but are not. They are like chaff which the wind drives a way. The chaff are the hull part of a seed. Psalm 1:4. NOTICE THE WIND drives them away. Here the Wind is The Holy Spirit.
Too far into the world that one can not hear His whisper. To me, that is so sad. For when we do not hear Him, we can not do what is right. We have fallen from His Grace. Mind you, not as we see things thru blurry vision and think our way is right, but from HIS GRACE, HIS WAY!
