When Mary and Joseph looked for their missing son Jesus, they found Jesus debating with the lawyers, and when Jesus saw his parents He said to his parents, "Didn't you know that I must be about My Father's business?"
Now that we are adopted into the Family of God, we also need to be "about Our Father's business".
God is God but He's also a Father and He is not going to tolerate LAZY adopted sons and daughters who "never help out." God's whole nature is about "helping out."
And if we sons and daughters don't go help in the vineyard of the Lord to help preach that Jesus died us, rose again, and is the Lord of heaven, then God and our Father will take note of our lack of helpfulness.
But if God sees that we never help out in God's very busy Family, God may end up equating us with "an unprofitable servant" and with a "one-talent person who also never did anything except give back what he had gotten" and God will put those adopted sons and daughters back out of God's Family and appoint them the same fate as unbelievers, which is the second death in the lake of fire.
Jesus said to his parents, "Didn't you know that I must be about My Father's business"? But to us Jesus will say, "Didn't you know that you must be about Your Father's business"?
Are you about Your Father's business? If not, ask the Father to give you something to do in His vineyard, meaning helping to preach the good news of Jesus Christ somehow.
Be blessed.
