The Parable of The Sower – Part 4

Mark 4:20
20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.

Parable of The Sower – Part 4
Whenever the Word of God is preached faith is present, but it is not always received, and this is why many believers are weak in faith. In the parable of the sower Jesus teaches this truth as He reveals the Word is the seed, and the ground is the heart condition of man. The only way that faith will grow is the seed must be planted (received) in good ground.

As we have already seen seed on wayside soil will not produce faith, for that seed is immediately taken by the devil. Wayside hearts are those who do not plow up their harden heart. They don’t give their full attention to hearing the Word. Then there is the stony ground heart, which is the believer who is allowing contrary thoughts to keep that seed from growing. Next is the thorny ground believer whose focus is on other things. The fourth heart condition Jesus reveals is good ground, which receives the seed and produces faith.

The good ground believer does not just hear the Word, they accept it. This means they take it as their own. They don’t question God’s Word; they simply believe what it says, and they speak in agreement with the Word, declaring and thanking God it is already done. When we speak what the Word says, agreeing the promise is already ours, now we are getting the Word planted in good ground, and it will then produce what God has promised.
