What happens to the chaff according to John's message?

Answered in 1 source

The chaff will be burned with fire unquenchable, symbolizing eternal judgment.

In John the Baptist's message, he states that Christ will ‘burn the chaff with fire unquenchable’ (Luke 3:17). The chaff represents those who do not bear fruit and are unrepentant; they remain outside of Christ’s saving grace. This imagery serves as a stark warning regarding the certainty of divine judgment for those who reject the gospel and choose to remain in their sin. Jesus, through His ministry, will ultimately separate the believers (the wheat) from the unbelievers (the chaff), with the latter facing eternal punishment. This emphasizes the gravity of sin and the justice of God, reaffirming the urgency for individuals to seek repentance and faith in Christ.
