“But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.”
Hebrews 6:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 6:8
Conversely, land producing 'thorns and briers is rejected and near to being cursed,' ending in burning. This echoes Genesis 3:18 (curse) and Jesus's teaching (Matthew 13:22). The phrase 'near to being cursed' may suggest not final damnation but serious danger. However, Reformed theology sees persistent barrenness as evidence of non-regeneration. True believers will produce fruit, though imperfectly; perpetual fruitlessness indicates absence of saving faith.
