How do we know that being unfruitful under religious privileges is dangerous?

Answered in 1 source

Being unfruitful despite receiving spiritual privileges poses a grave risk of divine judgment.

The parable of the fig tree warns against the perils of fruitlessness. The owner of the tree demands its removal after three years of seeking fruit without success. This symbolizes the accountability of churches and individuals who, despite regular exposure to the Gospel, fail to live out their faith. God's mercy may delay judgment, but the risk remains; unfruitful Christians and congregations face the prospect of being cut off. It serves as a wake-up call for the church to bear the fruit of the Spirit, or else they may be judged as unprofitable servants.
