What happens to the chaff according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the chaff will be burned up with unquenchable fire, representing eternal punishment.

According to Matthew 3:12, the chaff, which symbolizes those without faith in Christ, will face a dire fate. The sermon describes that these individuals—those who are unrepentant and persist in their sin—will experience an eternal punishment characterized as being burned with unquenchable fire. This imagery illustrates the severity of divine judgment and the consequences of rejecting Christ. The reality of hell serves as a sobering reminder of the depth of God’s holiness and the seriousness of sin, emphasizing that apart from faith in Christ, individuals remain exposed to eternal wrath. Thus, there is a stark contrast between the eternal safety of the wheat and the destruction of the chaff.
