Eph.2:3 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

How does a leopard change its spots, or a weeds change itself into a wheat? Well, they don’t! It would take the creator of both to change their nature would it not?

Jeremiah 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

Here we have this wonderful beautiful field or rich soil left to the nature of this earth, what will most like grow if not tended to by a hard working farm? Weeds, do the weeds feel like thieves for growing in this field, are they sorry for using up such fine rich soil? Absolutely not that is what they are, that is what they are created to do.

Matthew 13:26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

Matthew 13:29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

The only ones fretting over such an over-growth would be those trying to uses the field for wheat. The work is not for the weeds, its for the wheat growers, the weeds have a wide and spacious road an easy in their environment to flourish!

Matthew 13:38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

Matthew 13:40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.

The question is for this discussion what is life and what is death? What is light and what is darkness? Moreover, what is our nature, and what must God change? And for those born again, into Christ what must they understand about their nature as wheat to stay strong in faith?

Colossians 3:10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator.

Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

Once we change any of this into human wisdom and power we are trying to change weeds into wheat an impossibility! Once we start judging the evil acts of weeds as though they can change into another species by our biblical teachings we inserted ourselves into God position wasting vast amounts of time and energy coveting what cannot be converted from weeds into wheat!

Rom.8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Rom.8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

John 12:47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

There is a time and season for everything under the Sun, and certainly the truth is foremost among those things. God is not asking us to change people into being a new creation in Christ, he is asking us to accept the truth, and in that truth we let go of the things of death working in all mankind and accept with joy the things of life in Jesus Christ or new heavenly Father.

Rev.22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

However, we must understand both natures of weeds and wheat, that is, flesh and the Spirit because we must go forth with both, we must understand the power of life at work in us as well as death at work in us. But above all the power of Christ life that has conquered all on earth and in heaven, so our faith does not give out and we are not swept along in false teachings of Babylon the Great weaken by its drudgery.

Matthew 24:24 For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

Matthew 24:31 He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

We are in grace, which means, we are a gift to God’s purposes to remove all death from weeds from his new heavens and earth, we are not purpose for this world for fixing into a better weed patch, Christ does the saving we do the encouragement, God does the judgment of what is his creation and what is not!

1Cor.4:1 So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
4:2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.
4:4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

We are created for a purpose just like Adam was until he was put out of God’s purpose for him the Garden of Eden, we must let God’s works be completed in us, and trust in no other purpose but the life at work in us.
